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

Whenever I look at my Cayman Islands collection I have to stop and admire my favourite set for this country. For many commonwealth countries the George V sets are the nicest.

just possible that for many folk the appeal is in the 'pastel' colours/shades of pre 1950 stamps, plus we're accustomed to favouring images with these popular heads - all of which likely accounts for the continuing passion for the 'classic' period. IMHO the change to solid garish colours meant a loss of traditional stamp appearance ................ but then again I'm a rather boring traditionalist ;-) Very attractive stamps by the way - love the colour of the ten shillings - in fact not a million miles away from the colour of the British ten shilling bank note - now of course long since deceased.

A nice arrival yesterday were these 4 stamps to fill holes in my Cayman Islands collection. The Scott 14, 28 and 68 are mint hinged examples. Used from the Cayman's are rather hard to find so I was more than happy to get the Scott 79 5 shilling featuring William IV and George V. I did not research but I doubt William IV is found on many other stamps. The set was issued in 1932 to celebrate the Centenary of the formation of the Cayman Islands Assembly.
