| ok some interesting stuff popped up from Wiki | Quote: | Stamps Owing to a decline in population and lack of interest in the mail contract, the GPO ended its presence on Lundy at the end of 1927.[74] For the next couple of years Harman handled the mail to and from the island without charge. On 1 November 1929 he decided to offset the expense by issuing two postage stamps, with their value expressed in "Puffins". The printing of Puffin stamps continues to this day. They have to be put on the reverse of the envelope. So that the mainland sorting offices can process the letters their cost includes the standard Royal Mail charges for onward delivery. Puffins are a type of postage stamp known to philatelists as "local carriage labels". Issues of increasing value were made over the years, including air mail, featuring a variety of people. Many are now highly sought-after by collectors.[75] with the value of the early issues rising substantially over the years. The stamps of Lundy Island serve to cover the postage of letters and cards from the island to the nearest GPO post box on the mainland for the many thousands of annual visitors, and have become part of the collection of the many British Local Posts collectors. The first catalogues of these stamps included Gerald Rosen's 1970 Catalogue of British Local Stamps. Later specialist catalogues include Stamps of Lundy Island by Stanley Newman, first published in 1984, Phillips Modern British Locals CD Catalogue, published since 2003, and Labbe's Specialized Guide to Lundy Island Stamps. There is a comprehensive collection of these stamps in the Chinchen Collection, donated by Barry Chinchen[76] to the British Library Philatelic Collections in 1977 and located at the British Library. This also the home of the Landmark Trust Lundy Island Philatelic Archive which includes artwork, texts and essays as well as postmarking devices and issued stamps.[77] |
now since tehy are charges for carrying they are postage however since they are only valid locally and they are on the reverse are they Cinderella's? personally i dont care . they are simply amazing and beautiful .. but i am curious to learn more... _________________ Happy Stamping!! Bear |

| Here is one I found in some kiloware. If any one wants it, i would be happy to sent it along. Right now it is stuffed under the plexiglass on my desk, as I have nowhere else to put it.  |
