Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of St Lucia for sale.
Possibly due to the beauty of the island St Lucia constantly attracts stamp collectors. The classic stamp issues can form a lovely collection. A plating study is possible but very difficult due to the large sheet size.
The type set postage due stamps are the focus of attention it seems at the moment while the more recent issues provide a colourful and straightforward collection.
Postal history collectors will struggle these days to find pre stamp covers. Later Parish postmarks can be found but are difficult on cover.
There is only one philatelic handbook on St Lucia and this is in need of updating. Dr G.G. Ritchie's 'St Lucia. A philatelic history.'
