Being a Guernseyman, yet never having been to Jethou, I do have a few local post items, including these. "Norman Year, 1966" imperforate sheets of 4.
Jethou produced stamps in the 1960s till they were banned in 1969. Privately leased, there is only one house with two cottages.In 1996 apparently had a population of 3.
In the late 1960s and 1970s there was a rash of somewhat spurious local issues (perhaps best described as "souvenirs" ) from a dozen uninhabited or occasionally visited Islands round the British coast. Only Lundy has any sort of claim to a private mail service, though the Summer isles off the west of Scotland did have a tourist mail for a few years, and Herm in the Channel islands has a longer legitimacy , but what of Lihou, EynHallow, Sanda, Stroma, St Kilda , Staffa, & Bernera? The production of the latter group of issues in the 1970s resulted in the prosecution and expulsion of Clive Feigenbaum from the Philatelic Traders Association for the production of "Labels resembling Stamps" Clive Feigenbaum's history on Wikipedia, his involvement in the implosion of Stanley Gibbons, the theft of stamps from the British Museum and his company's dubious "Leaders of the World" productions with deliberate errors, for many small Commonwealth countries such as Tuvalu of the 1980s makes interesting, and for the hobby rather sad and disturbing reading. |

The Tuvalu debacle with the LOTW issues led to me stopping the collection of stamps for around 30 years.
I'll never get over that horrible, horrible event!

I’m totally unfamiliar with the Tuvalu debacle and not sure what LOTW means? LoL now I’m the one to get stumped by an acronym. That’ll teach me not to use so many, haha! |

LOTW = Leaders of the World a plethora of literally hundreds of issues for St Vincent,Grenadines St Lucia, Bequia, Nevis Tuvalu etc etc features railway locomotives and Automobiles in wallpaper sheets way in excess of country needs (None of them had railways "!)produced by Clive Feigenbaum's printing company Format International for the Philatelic Production corporation. There were dozens of deliberately manufactured errors which led to a Lawsuit by the Tuvalu Government claiming the contact was infringed by this . Quite a scandal. These LOTW, Leaders of the world, are still around they were overpriced but some collectors were suckered in to pursuing the vast range  Just a few of these LOTW ! OMG !! |

I ended up shredding what the Tuvalu Post Office sent me, I returned, they sent them back. They killed it for me! But at least I kept what I had and have returned to them. Thanks, vikingeck for that explanation! |

... wallpaper sheets way in excess of country needs (None of them had railways "!)produced by Clive Feigenbaum's printing company Format International ... Back in the early days of TSF I parroted some info on Mr. Feigenbaum (the $160 million man, ha ha) dating back to a Stone Age post made with my coal-burning computer in the days of USENET ... quite the character. It's hard to believe that he was once the Chairman of Stanley Gibbons! Ryan |
