The young woman featured in the stamp below is very special to me. All of my favourite 'stamps' are named after her, in her honour. She will always be remembered by collectors and Philatelists of Non-Postage stamps......forever more !  Yes, it's...........  |

Are we just trying to say the neglected but beautiful sister of philately? It can be interpreted in a number of ways. But in the past, Cinderella stamps were not allowed on display at most National and all International Exhibitions. There were no Cinderella sections at all to look at. So they never got the chance to go to the Ball, so to speak. They were like Cinderella, left behind while the Sisters(stamps) had their fun being ogled. Quaint isn't it ? |

One of my favorite KGVI Stamps is the Grenada 10/. I like the design and the complexity of the issue. During the 10 years that it was printed, there were 9 different printings using four perforations, and two paper sizes. All together about 82,000 stamps were printed, but most of them were the final printing which was over 29,000 stamps. On the other end of the spectrum, only 780 of the stamps perforated 11.75 were printed. See my website if you want to learn how to sort these stamps by printing or by Gibbons numbers.

If you collect any of the King Edward VII or King George V sets from Grenada, I have web pages that will show you the various color shades specified by the Commonwealth, Stanley Gibbons and Scott catalogs. If you collect catalogued print shades and paper color varieties, the two King George V sets contain a number of them. The King Edward VII sets do not contain very many because they were only each produced for a few years before being replaced.
Click any of the links below to access the various sites.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Here is another arrival this week from eBay. I was not intending on collecting these Grenada tete beche pairs but since I was bidding on a few dozen lots from the same seller I placed a low ball bid on this pair and got it for pocket change. They are kind of neat. This is a Scott 23a used pair.  |

unfortunately the mice have been at this one so zero value .......... this looks to be SG 31 - the 1d. carmine issued originally in February 1883 and details around the inside of the date post mark read: GRENADA 29 AP 86. The point of posting is to ask if anyone knows why the upper case D was added - it's not something that I've been able to resolve using my books, though it's likely the answer is obvious. thanks for looking.   |

I don't collect items from Grenada but I like the scanned cover so I thought it was an idea to post it here before it is listed on eBay. Soon be Christmas!!  |
