The following lists of Great Britain and some Commonwealth were put together during 2007, and most prices will remain until items are sold.

Some stock is in large quantity, whilst only a few copies exist of others. It would be advisable to email me in the first instance to check availability of "less common" items. Payment with order please-refund will be made for items not available or, providing prompt return is made, found to be unsatisfactory. For small items please add 25p for 2nd class and 40p 1st class postage for the UK. Extra will be required for recorded or guaranteed delivery

Orders can be emailed using the form at the end of the lists,or by printing the appropriate pages and posting them to me. Payment can be made by sterling cheque, or sterling or US$ notes (at an exchange rate of ca £1=$1.8), providing they are sent by a secure means. I regret I cannot offer a secure web-based payment system.

I hope you find something to interest you.


KILOWARE

The GB lists start with kiloware, all of which was collected over 30 years ago, during the period before and shortly after decimalisation in 1971. Consequently many of the post-decimalisation mixes will contain a range of issues from early QEII. The photographs show random samples taken from the sacks.

Postage on kiloware
The high cost of postage is a problem with sending kiloware, and although I use commemorative higher values, I much regret I cannot answer for the quality of the postmarks applied by Royal Mail. (Still much to be desired, and it really is about time they got their act in order). Postage costs are shown below the kiloware mixtures, and are indicated for the UK only.

If enquiring from abroad, please email me above, and I can then quote you specific postage costs.

Quantities are in grs/kg, and approximate equivalents are shown in lbs. Different mixtures can be amalgamated for postage.   Please click the small pictures below for enlargments; go back using the arrow in the top left corner:
