We have listed a small number of “long sets” – maybe you call them definitive sets.
As opposed to ‘commemorative issues’, these sets, which typically range from 7 to 12, and sometimes considerably more values, were produced for everyday use by the general public for letters and parcels. We have to remember that during Victorian and Edwardian times, mail was the most reliable means of long distance communication.
We are fortunate in having many more definitive sets hidden away in our stock. These are from a variety of countries of the British Empire, so if you are looking for a particular set, or sets, we may be able to help. We accept “WANT LISTS” by mail or by email.
We can be contacted at 407-620-0908 if you wish to buy or sell British Empire stamps or postal history items.
