| Trinidad Ship Letters (click here 3mb)
This is the section of the book 'TRINIDAD – A Philatelic History to 1913' by Marriott, Medlicott and Ramkissoon, which deals with Ship Letters. As will be seen some of the illustrations are far from perfect, either because of them being scanned from old auction catalogues or a copy has only been obtained at a very poor resolution. Either way, if any reader can provide improved scans or even better send a scan of an as-yet-unlisted cover, I would be most grateful. Send any scans or queries to peterf@bwisc.org." |

This article on the Lady McLeod stamp is basically what is in the book 'TRINIDAD – A Philatelic History to 1913'. Some of the illustrations are not as good as one would like. If any reader can provide better scans, could they please contact peterf@bwisc.org". |

| Marriott Sale
In 2001 Spink, the auctioneers, very generously provided us with all the images from the Marriott sale catalogue. I will be using these to illustrate our forthcoming work on Trinidad. Unfortunately some of these images were of complete pages of the catalogue and the individual items, usually covers, were visible only in part. If anyone has any of these items illustrated on these pages, particularly the early covers pre-1860, could they please contact me (Peter Ford peterf@bwisc.org). The pages of the catalogue involved are Pages 21, 22, 25, 54, 61, 66, 81, 83, 87, 91, 93, 99, 109, 111, 131, 142, 144, 151, 152 and 155. I must stress that not all of these images will be used in the book, but those that are may be acknowledged, should the owner be agreeable. It is only with the co-operation of members will this book be a successful endeavour. |

Early Trinidad Covers (click here) When the BWISC published the book TRINIDAD – A Philatelic History to 1913 by Marriott, Medlicott and Ramkissoon, the final Appendix listed all early covers known to us at the time. The listing included all covers bearing imperforate adhesives up to and including 1860. This list on our website has links to the images that we have in our possession. Of course, this listing was always going to be far from complete; any viewer who possesses a cover meeting the above criterion is asked to send to peterf@bwisc.org a scanned image (300dpi min) of the front and rear of the cover, preferably on a black background. Also, some of the linked images are far from ideal; it may be that there is only a portion of the cover available from an auction catalogue, maybe the image is of poor resolution. Either way, we need better images and only you can help. Thank you. |
