Martinique
Home West Indies Stamps Martinique Books
Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Martinique for sale.
Like Guadeloupe the majority of collectors seem to be solely interested in postal history and neglect the stamp issues.
There is a large quantity of pre stamp covers available from time to time on the philatelic market.
Collectors should read Maurice Jamet's '150 ans d'histoire postale des anciennes colonies Francaises' which includes a listing to pre stamp postal markings.
