The Handstruck Stamps & Cancellations of Trinidad J Marriott London Philatelist 1955
Trinidad Ship Letters (click here)

I am looking for replacements for the attached illustrations of Trinidad Ship Letters. If any member owns any of these, or indeed knows of anybody who owns these, could they please contact me (Peter Ford peterf@bwisc.org). The improved illustrations will hopefully be in our new publication detailing the Philatelic History of Trinidad.

Lady Mcleod Covers (click here 6mb)

This is a draft f the Lady McLeod Census Appendix. If anyone owns any item described herein or knows of anybody who owns one, could they please contact me (peterf@bwisc.org) with a view to having an illustration included in the book. Some of the illustrations are adequate but some are scanned in from photocopies and auction catalogues; it would obviously be better to have first class colour pictures throughout. Thank you.

Marriott Sale

In 2001 Spink, the auctioneers, very generously provided us with all the images from the Marriott sale catalogue. I will be using these to illustrate our forthcoming work on Trinidad. Unfortunately some of these images were of complete pages of the catalogue and the individual items, usually covers, were visible only in part. If anyone has any of these items illustrated on these pages, particularly the early covers pre-1860, could they please contact me (Peter Ford peterf@bwisc.org). The pages of the catalogue involved are Pages 21, 22, 25, 54, 61, 66, 81, 83, 87, 91, 93, 99, 109, 111, 131, 142, 144, 151, 152 and 155. I must stress that not all of these images will be used in the book, but those that are may be acknowledged, should the owner be agreeable. It is only with the co-operation of members will this book be a successful endeavour.

Early Trinidad Covers (click here)

It is intended that the BWISC will at some date in the near future publish a definitive work on the Stamps and Postal History of Trinidad. Part of this work may well contain an Appendix listing all known covers of Trinidad up to and including the 1861 issue of rough perforated 14 to 16½ stamps (the (1d), 4d, 6d and 1s).

In order to make the final published listing as complete as possible we appeal to anyone with covers not listed below to contact Federico with details (comneno@tiscali.it).
