Cayman Islands

Home  West Indies Stamps  Cayman Books  Cayman Postcards

Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Cayman Islands for sale.

There seem to be many new collectors of Caymans stamps these days.  There are no classic stamp issues to collect, no pre stamp postal history yet Caymans philately is very much alive.  Important collections do seem to come up for auction at frequent intervals which no doubt helps.

For information on Caymans philately I recommend Aguilar and Saunder's book, 'The Cayman Islands.  Their postal history, postage stamps and postmarks' as the best work on the stamp issues.  The Giraldi and McCann handbook 'The postal history of the Cayman Islands' is the best and most up to date book on postmarks.
