Showing items in Stamps and Covers - Bahamas
Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Bahamas for sale.
There are many facets to Bahamas philately. The lovely classic Chalon heads form a fine study for the stamp collector while the wealth of Out Island postmarks provide a challenge to the postmark and postal history collector.
The best guide to Bahamas stamp issues is the handbook by Gisburn Postmark collectors and those interested in postal history should read Morris Ludington, Bahamas early mail services and postal markings.
Post and packing is extra but does not increase however many items are ordered. Inland £1, Europe £1.50 and Overseas £2

FERNBANK Peter (Ed.) Bahamas – Stamps and Postal Stationery to 1970 B.W.I.S.C. & R.P.S. 2017 xii + 344 large pp. 1st ed., new in D/W. Collectors of Bahamas have long awaited a successor to Harold G. D. Gisburn’s slim handbook of 1950 in which he briefly touched on most aspects of Bahamas philately. Since then many of the philatelic disciplines within Bahamas have benefitted from scholarly and detailed publications but stamps and postal stationery have remained substantially neglected. This book, a joint project between the Royal Philatelic Society London and the BWISC, attempts to remedy this situation. Each series of stamps is examined in detail, from its inception and development through to its issue and eventual demise. The various archive items that exist in both private and public domains are examined and listed, including artists’ essays, die and plate proofs, colour trials and Specimens, etc.
