;) | PAID AT ANTIGUA + PAID AT ENGLISH HARBOR mostly illustrated Crowned Circles 1850-1873. Price £40 (WIP-4) Although scarcer in numbers than its Barbados CC counterpart (149 covers, SG. Cat.£600) the PAID AT ANTIGUA (SG Cat.£950), and elusive PAID AT ENGLISH HARBOR (SG Cat £9,000); and available to less better destinations (Barbados, Canada, Madeira, Nevis, Nova Scotia, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Thomas) - as Barbados has 14 destinations, this pdf is much more interesting. 94 entires, arranged in chronological order, mostly illustrated, provenance with printing quantities of adhesives sent out interspersed, and showing faked entires of the very rare ENGLISH HARBOR (with another oddball idea from Lea as a forerunner).

;) | INDIA ILLUSTRATED ADHESIVE COVERS PERIOD 1854-1855. Price £90 (WIP-128) This was a late starter in my endeavour to record Commonwealth covers for certain countries so many illustrations are still part or full in b/w, but many are also in full colour. Provenance is strong as many important catalogues have been harnessed. This is an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 243 entires arranged in chronological sequence. Price £90 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £90 |
;) | PAID AT ST. VINCENT CROWNED CIRCLE ILLUSTRATED COVERS (64) PERIOD 1852-1866. Price £25 (WIP-246) This file manages to illustrate 57 of the known 64 Crowned Circle covers either in part or full b/w, or colour. Two surprises emerge in that when the QV 6d yellow-green issue (SG.2) was exhausted the Post Office could not immediately locate the Crowned Circle and used the ST. VINCENT cds (one instance only), but probably much more interesting is that only two covers are in combination with the fully spelt out SAINT-VINCENT cds which survived the Post Office fire of OC 29 1866, and if my hunch is correct was lost when the "Water Witch", a local vessel, was hired to take passengers off quarantined ships in Kingstown Bay on DE 8 1866. Being an active "work-in-progress" file I hope to add more Crowned Circle covers as they come to light. At the end of this pdf there are 7 QV 1d, 4d, 6d, 1/- "loose" stamps cancelled with the Crowned Circle for you to ponder as there is no explanation for their use. You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 64 entires arranged in chronological sequence, and packed with provenance. Price £25 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £25 |
;) | JAMAICA ILLUSTRATED KINGSTON "A01" ADHESIVE COVERS (325) + later 1860-1902. Price £100 (WIP-249) When it comes to auction illustrations the more basic "A01" covers to the UK and USA lose out to those going more exotic destinations like India and Italy, and as a consequence much of this file is still part or full illustrations in b/w, and the better items in colour. This is very much an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 325 entires arranged in chronological sequence which includes mixed countries covers inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £100 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £100 |
;) | JAMAICA TEXT DESCRIPTIONS KINGSTON "A01" ADHESIVE COVERS (532) + later 1860-1902. Price £180 (WIP-139) Perhaps the accompanying illustrations already suggest a vibrant array of choice. Bisects, two country combinations, and even a three country combination! This is very much an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 532 entires arranged in chronological sequence which includes amazing variety inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £180 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). A country which never seems to disappoint. £180 |
