Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Grenada for sale.
Collecting Grenada stamps seems to have become more popular in the last few years. When I started the business back in 1982 I found it very hard to sell and was told the island had been out of favour ever since producing the surcharge stamp issues of the 1880s which were seen by Victorian philatelists as unnecessary. Many of the classic stamps still have very low catalogue values.
Postal history collectors can find a reasonable quantity of pre stamp covers on the market and for postmark collectors there are the Parish letter cancels.
There is no up to date handbook on Grenada philately. The classic stamp issues are covered in Sefis The postage stamps of Grenada and Charltons The postal history and stamps of Grenada is also useful. Postal history collectors should see Dan Walkers Grenada postal history 1764-1913 work which is actually a photocopy of his written up collection.

CAPON Richard and GIBB Bill & STEWART George The Farthing BWISC 2021 102pp. 1st ed., new in card covers. The humble farthing, which not that many people will remember, was the cost of posting Printed Papers locally in some colonies of the Empire. Most were in the West Indies. This book catalogues all of these stamps and shows some very uncommon uses. The coverage extends outside the West Indies to Malta in particular and also to Fiji. There are instances where farthing stamps/labels were used as revenues in Australia, South Africa and diverse places, such as Heligoland. There are listed examples of the farthing labels used in the Highland Railways of Scotland. Places where farthing stamps were used are all covered and as a special treat there is an appendix showing some rare uses from the Ronald Rong Collection
