CONVENTION INFORMAL DISPLAY – CAYMAN ISLANDS BY GRAHAM BOOTH

…showed 1907 Caymans Islands Provisionals generated by Commissioner Hirst’s insistence that the thousands of adhesives from previous issues still in stock were ‘obsolete’. He included examples of these ‘obsolete’ stamps used in the Cayman when returned after being sold to the philatelic trade, the forgeries generated by the excess of demand over supply and the manuscript Provisionals created in 1908 as a result of the Commissioner’s parsimonious ordering habits.
