Anguilla SG14 One Dollar Independent overprint Only 175 issued Cat
800 pounds
When Anguilla was made Independent the existing stocks of St Christopher Nevis Anguilla pictorial definitive stamps (SG 129/44) that were held on the island were overprinted in black with a thick bar (obliterating the original name) and the words Independent Anguilla. The overprinting was undertaken by Island Press Inc. at St Thomas on the Virgin Is. in the presence of their employee William Bracken and a representative of the Anguilla Government. Once the stocks of existing stamps in their sheets of 25 were exhausted the overprint form of 25 positions was destroyed in the presence of the two men. So few of these stamps existed that no orders were accepted from the stamp trade as all the stamps were needed to fulfil postal requirements. All the stamps are very scarce or extremely rare. All know used examples are postmarked The Valley Anguilla

Barbuda 1832 EL via Antaeus the Unique example of the India Letter
from Barbuda
Barbuda 1832 EL from the Codrington correspondence from John Winter in Barbuda per ship Antaeus rated 1/6 (ship letter 8d inland 10d). On arrival boxed INDIA LETTER/ PLYMOUTH applied in error overstruck by way of correction by boxed SHIP-LETTER/ PLYMOUTH with a further strike also on the reverse. Usual filing folds. The letter makes extensive reference to a three-month drought. I have nothing favourable to communicate. I see nothing but misery staring us in the face it is impossible for Bbda. to be in a worse state from drouth… Perhaps unsurprisingly the only known example of the India Letter applied to a letter from Barbuda. This item came from the May 2021 Stanley Gibbons India and Area Signature Sale
