Showing items in Stamps and Covers - Cayman Islands
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 Saunders 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.

FERNBANK Peter E. and BLINCO Jeff & John King Edward VII Imperium Key Plates. Printings, plate number allocations and key plate varieties B.W.I.S.C. 2020 vii + 191 large pp. New in card covers A study of the Imperium style key plate issues within the 16 colonies that employed this design. The formats of the key plates are determined and a detailed plating study of Key Plate 1 is provided, a rare example of such a study on a surface printing plate, whilst the ‘Spaven’ and ‘Missing Frame’ flaws are examined in depth. Philately has long misunderstood the format of Key Plate 2 and its true size and format is revealed. A study is made of the damage sustained to the marginal areas of the plates, particularly the marginal rules, which can assist in determining the date of printing of certain marginal examples. Individual colony sections list all printings for each colony and the use of ordinary or chalk-surfaced paper is recorded for all printings. The basis on which the plate number allocated to each printing has been deduced is given. Additional information has been derived from the De La Rue and Crown Agents records, together with that from philatelic literature, and any exceptional events noted.
