5	Antigua	The full top mgn of a used star wmk 1d vermillion pair SG7 has captured a tad of its former neighbours above, without sacrifice of its own design. Dignified central A02 killer on each, rather rich shade, even if slightly deepened over the years – a pair like this give body and character	52	uns	link

7	Antigua	The detached triangle flaw from row 3 stamp 3 on the 2½d red-brown keyplate on CA paper, SG22a, is not priced mint or used by SG. The postmark on our example is well clear of the flaw, but extrapolating from the pricing on the ½d and 4d would suggest around 50x normal so £2,500 – clearly a rarity	250	uns	link

25	Antigua	Leeward 10/- green and red/green on ordinary paper, SG113b. lower magnl with plate no.1 on cover addressed to Bessie Harper. Only the top two thirds of the 1 plate survived something sticky which seems to have clung to the lower third. All the same it’s a genuine rarity and deserves an owner with taste. Cover was left unsealed and may only have paused at GPO to receive its postmark	70	56	link

Boden, 2d grey 1926, 1d violet + 1d mauve (Miss Robertson, philatelic), ½d + 1d 1935; 1½d red-brown 1929, ?1930 but this (from which address was dissected) is the scarce unlisted v. prominent deep shade	50	uns
27	Antigua	We are unsure of the business connection of Geo. W. Bennett Bryson & Co. Ltd (using their in-house stationery) with G.F. Mitchell & Sons Ltd in Halifax NS. This clean and elegant 1932 cover was franked with tercentenary 1½d and posted at sea on Lady Drake and most fastidiously opened on arrival. The ships’ cachet was applied in delicate pink blending nicely with the violet ribbon that typed the address	36	uns	link

37	Antigua	Quite a classy air mail cover franked with KG6 1/- went JU 5 46 to Arthur D Pierce of New Jersey from PARES. We value with reluctant restraint (it travelled unsealed)	36	27
38	Antigua	Unopened env. to Frank Goodwin owner of the Gaynor’s sugar estate and mill with both Antigua and Leewards Victory pairs cancelled at ST PHILIPS, no date	40	uns	link
	Antigua	Even in the present reign there would be an acute shortage of collectable cancellations from the smallest offices, without the enthusiasm of a handful of collectors and dealers to create them. The next lots explore the style of some of the more prominent contributors to Antigua
39	Antigua	Bill Cornell made plentiful use of the 5c SG125 in blocks of four on cover in the 1960’s preserving margins, imprints and so on where stamps were from top, bottom or sides. Examples in this lot are from All Saints, Bendals, Bolans, Johnson’s Point, Liberta and Old Road (and see also under Barbuda)	40	uns	link
40	Antigua	Bill Cornell covers from All Saints, Bolans, Liberta and Nelson’s Dockyard, Cornell paid closer attention to postal rates. Thus 6c was produced by a single defin. and a cluster of two blocks with the 1966 defins full air mail rate from Liberta and second class rate from Bolans and Johnson’s Point (a poor strike)	28	uns
41	Antigua	Variety is introduced when a correspondent wrote to him from Freetown (long airmail cover, 1963); same year self-addressed from Cedar Grove (not many of these around) whose 2-line inverted date of cds reads */10/JY 63, and no message; reply paid 7c US card to Ohio from St John’s	22	uns
42	Antigua	We meet C. Wood Thibou as a resident of St John’s, when the local rate was a modest 2c. He procured covers from All Saints, Bolans, Gray’s Farm and Parham	18	uns
43	Antigua	Stann Durnin was still going strong in ’68 when he regd a cover from Gray’s Farm overfranked massively with the Deep Water Harbour $1. As this stamp would seldom have been used at this office, we value upwards instead of down	18	uns	link
44	Antigua	A final lot in the line-up of philatelic covers offers a 1971 cover from that fairly wide-ranging Yorkshireman C. Hinchcliffe featuring Seatons; a Victory pair FDC from All Saints acquired by Charlesworth Ross (who for all we know may have been a personal collector); and covers of 1955 generating commem. covers of Princess Margaret’s tour for C Wood Thibou again (4 low value defins) and for London’s John Lister	15	uns
45	Antigua	Wiegenau covers are philatelic with a flair, so the 4½d regd rate from St John’s to Illinois was paid with 1d p/s env and 2d both badge type on face, Leeward ¼d horiz. pair between them and ½d badge pair over flap, with all the right dated pmks and regn markings.	50	40	link

46	Bahamas	There was quite a fashion for reprints of Chalon heads in proof form up to the 1930’s but the numbers around are shrinking. This one is of head only in pure deep lake on white wove paper 28 x 32 mm	22	42	link
47	Bahamas	An imperf Chalon 1d black plate proof on this paper with narrow nicely even margins all round	42	36	link
48	Bahamas	The 1d Interinsular stamp in brown-lake, perf.13 nicely used, centred top and rt. SG17. Cat. £140	28	uns
49	Bahamas	The 6d lavender-grey also perf 13 is centred to btm and left, with a neat A05 cancel, appropriate to packet mail use, cat. £475	90	uns	link
50	Bahamas	1d Chalon with Crown CC wmk inverted and reversed, we think vermillion so SG25y, cat. £190 m. but no gum so	45	uns	link
51	Bahamas	Staircase 1d black and red fine lge pt o.g. with CC wmk inverted, SG 58w. As a matter of policy the inversion of the watermark happens more readily than other wmk varieties. Nevertheless SG’s cat. rating £170 makes it credibly scarce	48	65	link
52	Bahamas	KE7 CA 1/- brownish grey and carmine mint NE corner pair with plate no.1 We presume from the r.h. pane as the r.h. mgn is guillotined narrow, SG68 cat. £44++	33	uns	link
53	Bahamas	This is the QV 6d mauve showing the widened jaws of the final ‘E’ in PENCE from r.h.s. row 6; it’s fine mint, gum surface at this point in time is not as smooth as it was soon to become more and the hint of toning on the reverse is more illusion than real. SG54 m., cat. £200	80	uns	link
54	Bahamas	The same duty plate was used for printing the KE 6d, same variety also fine, almost full o.g,.with the much smoother white gum SG66a, cat. £170	75	80	link
55	Bahamas	You therefore know now, if you did not know before, that the variety continues right through to 1922 without change of duty plate. The KE 6d MCA is mint, and the toning of the gum is real, for the face is toned too. SG74a cat. £275, but same estimate	75	uns	link
56	Bahamas	QV 5/- sage green mildly toned, Tercentenary 2/-, 3/- fresh of face, a little less so on reverse, each of these o.g. or large part so. SG56, 129/130, cat. £167	32	uns
57	Bahamas	The lower left corner vertical pair of SG90 with full margins including plate no.2 n both red and black. Attractive, and whilst from a different sheet would display well alongside the next lot	10	8	link
58	Bahamas	Unmounted mint block of ten from the bottom two rows of the sheet, right five columns, which means you get the ‘Long stroke to 7’ variety on the last stamp of the top row. SG90/90a	25	20	link
59	Bahamas	In past times you might have had to collect your Specimen stamps one at a time, here we offer two singles the GV 2½d of 1912 and the GV 2d from 1927, SG 84s and SG118s, there is a pleasing contrast to the style of the Specimen overprint – call cat. £90	35	uns	link
60	Bahamas	1919 3d WAR TAX (SG105), fine lightly mounted mint with rare combination "rifleman" and "half extra-treetrunk" varieties ovp'd "SPECIMEN". Few can exist.	75	80	link
61	Bahamas	Collection in maroon 22 ring binder with 23 pages. You get 1884 1d, 2½d, 4d, 6d m. and u.; 1902 4d, 6d m.; 1912 7 values to 1s m.; staircase to 5d; War Tax incl 1s; 1921 8 values to 1s; KG6 set of 17 to £1 complete m.; Columbus set to 1s u.; SW £1 m.; tercentenary to 5s m.; various QE2. Total cat. £350+	120	uns
62	Bahamas	GOVERNORS ISLAND negative brass MAILBAG SEAL cancel on KE7 1d (SG.72), scarce strong impression.	48	uns	link
63	Bahamas	KNOWLES dated 30 DEC 48 on KG6 2d (SG.181) fragment, very fine upright strike.	9	uns	link
64	Bahamas	This is the Red Cross long stroke variety SG90a on 7 October 18 regd cover to Switzerland, along with horiz. pairs of ½d, 1d War Tax SG96/7 (cat. from £82,65 by our dead reckoning, which doesn’t multiply varieties). The tell tale dash at rt is there to prove plate position, but you’d think it was part of pmk if you didn’t know to look. A rare item on cover, with no overt sign of Dr Hess at work, but who else generated this type of cover?	60	uns	link
65	Bahamas	A lighter diagonal plate scratch affects the middle staircase 1d in strip of three taking regd cover free of War Tax Mar 17. We don’t have the short story (must have been very short) presumably enclosed to the Salem, Mass publishing house address. 1920 Peace set of five on regd Kimber cover Mar 1920 opened out (cat. £55 off cover) shares this lot	34	uns
66	Bahamas	Regd. 8 Mar 19 to a local Nassau address, a clean, carefully opened cover bearing War Charity block SG101, gets bonus points from us for a plate scratch starting bottom rt, and seen on 3 stamps before petering out at upper left. Stamps are current, and with 1d deducted for charity, properly rated	18	uns
67	Bahamas	3d brown War Tax SG100 paid the 1d + 2d ordinary regd rate to Albany NY, 5 Sep 19 on crested OHMS cover from Nassau GPO reregd twice on the way	16	uns
68	Bahamas	McFarlan always liked to kill more than one bird with a single stone. Our guess is that this cover to Downington beautifully franked with 1d carmine from ARTHURS TOWN (on Cat Island) 28 MAY 27, most carefully split open, enclosed a batch of the newly received script 2d and 2½d stamps from his usual contact on the island. We can therefore treat as commercial and pretty scarce	40	28	link
69	Bahamas	Decorative FFC from San Salvador regd c/o Postmaster, Nassau 29 JUN 1931 (arrived 1 JY) and returned 27 JUL 1931, pmks and cachets in blue, violet and deep magenta, franked with current 10, 20c air values. Vertical fold extreme left	16	uns

71	Bahamas	1935 "New Years Greetings From Bahamas" printed cover to Kingston, New York with KGV S. Jubilee 1½d pmk'd WEST END (T.7, D3) 30 DEC 35 cds.	40	uns	link
72	Bahamas	SEA FLOOR to Whitfield King with the usual attractive 4d franking for registration	10	uns
73	Bahamas	If you want the full story of SEA FLOOR this lot combines a newspaper cutting from the Nassau Daily Tribune with an Aug 16 1939 first day cover and a signed commemorative cover from May 6 1940 to NewYork with an additional ½d to the usual 4d	55	uns	link
74	Bahamas	1942 Nassau Daily Tribune envelope coupled with THE DEVELOPMENT BOARD departmental cachet dated MAR 18 1942 mailed stampless by EXPRESS DELIVERY with PAID AT BAHAMAS crowned Circle and Nassau 18 MAR 42 segmented circle to the Associated Press Correspondent in Miami, Florida, at left EXAMINED BY 3922 label.	40	uns	link
75	Bahamas	Three airmail covers with Wartime connections: 1943 to Birmingham (Examiner 4813 inspected on arrival) rated 1s 6d (SG155b & 169); 1944 to New York (Examiner 6311) rated 10d (SG152b & 170); 1929 first flight Nassau to Miami then on to Cuba, sent by Dr Hess, 2x 1d staircase and a late use 1d WAR TAX seemed sufficient to pay fare	32	uns
76	Bahamas	Though endorsed by hand with Nassau box address this cover was posted with a 3d stamp from BIMINI 10 MAR 45 to its auditor in Jacksonville and was opened in transit by Examiner IG/5946 at Nassau 2 days later – any menace from submarines long shifted eastwards. As usual the wartime gum used on the cover has stained its brown mark on reverse, so we shan’t describe it as broadband	26	uns
77	Bahamas	2d PSRE to Montgomery Ward pmk THE FERRY. EXUMA 27 APR 26 with addl 1d KGV to pay postage, Nassau regn label affixed in transit	40	34	link

79	Barbados	Whilst a tad underinked the 1836 Barbados Fleuron is complete on this letter to Major Leith Hay in Grenada. The date is indistinct as is the date on the Grenada arrival date stamp, but the rate of 4d is clear and the inter-island rate lasted from 1710 to UPU. Ex Brian Brooks	105	105	link
80	Barbados	Fully transcribed ship letter date lined December 8 1838 from Bridgetown to London with stepped DEAL/SHIP LETTER	48	uns	link

83	Barbados	Attractive 4 mgn mint pair of the 4d brownish-red SG5 from the bottom left corner of the sheet; cat. £240	42	42	link
84	Barbados	Back in 1972 an RPSL member submitted this ½d used pair for a certificate for blued paper, only to get a ‘bad’ saying this is SG7 and not SG1 – which it is, so is that bad or good? Margins are fine top and bottom but cut into at sides, lightly cancelled; cat. £220	36	uns	link
85	Barbados	1d deep blue on white paper (SG10) unused block of 4 with full margins, some gum toning and creasing, otherwise fine, cat. £440	85	70	link
86	Barbados	In August 1854 the postal clerks bisected 2d stamps when there was a shortage of 1d stamps – with this precedent was there a shortage of ½d stamps a year or two later? Whilst you won’t get a certificate for it, and nor can we guarantee it, this vertically bisected pair of 1d blue (SG10) are tied to a small piece with a valid postmark. A decided curiosity and possibly a howling rarity.	105	115	link
87	Barbados	The 1855-58 Britannia imperf on white paper, nicely used SG7-10 margins close in places and possibly shaving the design on two; one 1d cancelled with first ‘9’ of St Andrew; cat. £390	80	65	link
88	Barbados	The 1858 6d and 1s, both shades of each, mainly fine used, margins close in places and possibly shaving the design on two; cat. £485	72	uns	link
89	Barbados	Any ½d pin-perf, unused, is a scarce item. Here we offer SG13 which has four margins, only two show the pin-perf and with some imperfections, but the cat. is £2,750	180	140	link
90	Barbados	Two nicely used examples of the pin-perf 14 1d in distinct shades, SG14,15 one with first series numeral 10; cat. £330	65	70	link
91	Barbados	1d vertical pair SG24 with sheet margin to the right of 1d blue rough-perf 14-16 unused	120	95	link
92	Barbados	Rarely available DOUBLE IMPRESSION on 1861 (1d) deep blue (SG.24), good used, some short perfs. Used examples also found on this issue in the collections of Sir James Marshall (1947) and Hodsell Hurlock (1958).	375	320	link
93	Barbados	The variability of the PB rough perf is explored here by our vendor with 16 examples of the ½d green SG20-22, each side of each stamp has been carefully measured for you. Shades and condn vary, pmk interest limited, cat. as cheapest £640	65	uns	link
94	Barbados	Our vendor has made a similar but even more comprehensive study on the 40 examples of the 1d blue SG23/24 displayed here on two pages, but of course cat. value, significantly less	36	uns	link
95	Barbados	Our final perf study looks at the 1/- value SG34/35 on 17 stamps, which may also give you a feel for how hard it is to obtain well-centred examples, total cat. £181	42	uns	link
96	Barbados	Selected for single lot status is a strip of 3 of SG35 1/- black which shows what a poor job of perforating PB made. Strips are quite scarce	32	26
97	Barbados	1873 Large star wmk 6d in mint corner pair from top rt of sheet with full corner margins. Oxidised and with gum wrinkles, minor perf split, scarce; SG60 cat. £1,800	200	160	link
98	Barbados	Bayley tells us that PB had considerable difficulty perforating the 3d small star following a change to the size of the sheet. This unused example of SG63, possibly from the foot of the sheet, demonstrates this and you get a considerable piece of the left and right neighbour on our example here, striking and we view the perf misplacing as more plus than minus. Cat £350	85	uns	link
99	Barbados	Alternatively you can have pleasing unused (part o.g.) and used examples of the same stamp, but they won’t instruct much on the perf difficulties. The two SG63 cat. £460, used example missing a perf.	95	uns	link
100	Barbados	This year we can offer the 5s large Britannia in mint, used and Specimen form. First up is the SPECIMEN – Samuel BAR2 (SG64s), centred up and left and a slightly grubby, no gum; cat. £375	85	70	link
101	Barbados	Our mint example of SG64 is centred centrally but so low the perfs cut the design at foot. The gum is largely complete, though slight toning and creasing with age, otherwise fine; cat. £900	180	145	link
102	Barbados	Finally our used example centred low and left with JA 30 1875 date stamp, possibly with slight thin; cat. £300	75	uns	link
103	Barbados	1878 1d in 5s with type 3a opt – an unsevered pair (SG86b), minor faults but bootheel cancel only affects one of the pair, comes with a 1931 Royal certificate; cat. £2,500	320	260	link
104	Barbados	Here we have the type 3b opt (srt. Top to 1 – SG87) which the bootheel slightly obscures on rt half of 5s. Some faults upper rt. Cat. £950	105	105	link

539	Virgin Islands	The centring on this 1867 4d lake-brown (SG15) is precise and the strong A13 killer strike began off the stamp to the left so the ‘3’ nestles against the Virgin’s skirt. The stamp was given a clean at some stage which has reduced much of its original pale rose to near-white and produced an amazingly rich, deep finish. We know the listing tells you about buff paper, as the 4d in whatever shade usually is, but paper and shades are interchangeable and rose is never common. At the end this is a quite exceptional stand-out example. Cat. £75	50	40	link

541	Virgin Islands	This s/card holds 3x 4d and 2x 6d of the 1866-8 classic issues which, however, do not slip neatly in to their SG listings but oscillate gently between one and another. Each is considerately used with, in 4 cases, the A91, firth the A13 killer, and the 6d, in lighter and deeper shades is on the less common white paper, so we would count cat. at £445, but you can do it differently	130	105	link
542	Virgin Islands	Page of issues to 1884 all used, with two 1d perf 15, then DLR key-types as listed with 3 extra ½d green and one extra 2½d ultramarine. The 1d perf 15 are green and yellow-green, but it helps more to tell you that these are early printings with wide margins and would probably plate to belong to transfers A and B (but we haven’t done the exercise). All but one ½d green are kindly cancelled. Another such ½d has a brown A91 (from mixing red and black ink). An odd minor fault in some though most are fine, so would rate cat. at £500 instead of the £670 one could calculate	160	uns	link
543	Virgin Islands	These are the 1887 lithographs by DLR mounted on a page, 1d and 4d, 3 each, 6d and 1/- 2 each. The stamps are fine m. but the shades here are not extreme enough to show the range of shades that is SG listed, cat. say £240	65	52	link
544	Virgin Islands	The 1887 DLR issues used, with 3x 1d and 4d, 2x 1/-, one 6d only, shade differentiation better than among the m. stamps but could still be more distinctive from one another. Two of the resident stamps have strong killer pmks, the rest are gentler, cat. over £400	85	70	link

569	Miscellaneous	Rare censored WW1 1917 ppc of Birmingham St, Halifax (Nova Scotia) was written aboard RMSP’s CHALEUR and sent to Toronto with a Die II 2c yellow brown War Stamp SG 239. The card became sea mail while afloat, and if you query the validity of the stamp’s usage (it never actually got cancelled) you must read up the prevailing regs for yourself. An underpowered double oval ships cachet struggles against an unhelpful background, and the P.C.Censor hand stamp is so weak it can hardly lift itself off the page.
