House of Assembly - Dec 2011

Recently acquired is this mutilated Canadian 10c with the Legislative Assembly perfin: “LA”. Along side: a matching 13c. Below: a 13c block of four which lacks the perfin but, in common with the others, bears the House of Assembly P.O. cds. (With a further 8c - since being sent after June - its cover could have been airmailed and registered to one of five South American countries).

Barbados slash - November 2011

Following the item last time, John Platt writes: “Just so you know…I bought the Barbados sheet and there is no ‘Frame Flaw’ as in your image, in column 1. I also have a block of 20 Barbados 1d, columns 1 and 2 – there is no Frame Flaw as in your image, in column 1”. So, it doesn’t appear to be constant.

Postal Rates - November 2011

Included now are the rates for Grenada.
