Showing items in Stamps and Covers - Antigua
Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Antigua and Barbuda for sale.
A good collection of stamps and postal history of Antigua can be formed. Thanks to the Codrington and Tudway correspondences and several other archives a wealth of pre stamp covers exist.
There are not many sources of information on Antigua philately. I would recommend the Robson Lowe Encyclopaedia Vol. VI also the Codrington Correspondence by Robson Lowe. There is also a fine series of articles on the classic issues published by the BCPSG.
Post and packing is extra but does not increase however many items are ordered. Inland £1, Europe £1.50 and Overseas £2
