Stamps & Postal History

Overview

We can advise clients who are seeking to sell either a single stamp or an entire collection and our trusted auctions attract worldwide philatelic interest through live online bidding.

Stamps have been collected for almost as long as they have been in existence, nearly 200 years.

We regularly sell popular stamps such as the famous Penny Black or Twopenny Blue as well as more specialist material.

We have a strong track record of selling, including a rare collection of GB KGVI complete sheets including high values, advanced Queen Victoria line engraved and surface printed stamp collections, and advanced GB Machin booklet collection complete with miscuts which sold for £14,500.

Worldwide and Commonwealth collections always sell well and single items such as PUC £1 or the 1965 Lister 4d block with missing red brown have also featured.

Not only do stamps prove highly prized collectables, frequently so do the letters and postcards upon which they are fixed.

A collection of letters to General Sir Martin Dillon, ADC to Queen Victoria from 1868-1878, fetched £620 and a social and postal history archive from the 1700s to the late 1800s made £680.

Stamps and postal history feature in our collectibles sales at Tamworth and we offer valuations by appointment at the saleroom in Church Street or at The Lichfield Auction Centre, Fradley Park.
