Dear Collector,
Welcome to our first ‘One Country’ list of 2015.
Barbados has always been an appealing country for the collector, and we offer an attractive range covering all periods.
The early Britannia issues are well represented, with a fine lot of blocks, while later periods feature a good group of the distinctive 1920
‘Victory ‘ issue including two unique watermark variety multiples.
King George VI is also strong, with the popular plate varieties of the 1938-47 issue and a rare booklet.
Proofs and ‘Specimens’ are dotted throughout.
Early ordering is advised to avoid disappointment
Regards,
Andrew Mansi
