GREAT BRITAIN used GRENADA postal history (1858-1860). Price £36
You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL copy by pdf (no refunds). Can arrive in your desktop, tablet, laptop in seconds with no hold up at customs for import duty. This file most suitable to take to auctions, stamp fairs, philatelic gatherings, or just to show other interested collectors, and essential to the newcomer thinking of making a display. 92 covers, a study mostly in b/w, which makes its own statement due the lack of excitement attached to the many GB 6d packet rate covers to the UK (often enormously overestimated by auction houses, dealers alike). A one frame would easily embrace the 6d single, 1/- double, 2/- quadruple rates to UK, offers two very rare REGISTERED covers to the UK, and most unusually has GB stamps affixed at Grenada's Carriacou island taken up the Grenadines chain for posting with St. Vincent Kingston "A10". . Provenance added when known. 27 pages (A4 size) Price £36 payable by PayPal or WISE transfer.

You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL copy by pdf (no refunds). 184 covers, a study mostly in b/w, which makes its own statement due the lack of excitement attached to the many 6d packet rate covers to the UK.

ARROYO, Porto Rico carried "loose" to ST. THOMAS postal history (Ex Don Gaspar Roca)
1874 entire, written at Arroyo on July 11th 1874 has the correct 4d rate adhesive for mail to the British Postal Agency at St. Thomas, but was carried as a ‘loose’ letter (outside the mailbag) and was pmk’d ‘C51’ on arrival, no datestamp was applied probably due the letter originating elsewhere. The letter was then carried from St. Thomas to New York by the U.S. and Brazil Mail Steamship Company, the only line serving New York and Brazil during this period. The line was viewed by the British Government as an intruder on the British monopoly over mail service to and from Brazil, and was consequently driven out of business by heavy British government subsidies to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. Ex Don Gaspar ROCA (2006).
Entires from the British Postal Agency at Arroyo, opened 24th October 1872, are seldom encountered with the GB adhesives pmk’d ‘F83’. The few surviving covers are divided into two groups, those initially cancelled by round top ‘3’ in the ‘F83’ and those with a replacement flat top ‘3’ sent out 31st August 1876 due a fire.
