I’m glad to report it’s been a busy ten days since our last update with a good many orders from our stocks. I have also managed to negotiate three useful collections from UK and abroad, which when received, should favourably enhance our stocks of some of the more difficult-to-find colonies. Unfortunately, Brexit means that one of the overseas shipments may well become embroiled in HM Customs which from bitter experience can take many weeks. Such is life.
Since our last update, the main colonies I remember being added to are CAMEROUN, IVORY COAST, SOMALI COAST, DAHOMEY and GABON. So it may be worthwhile seeing if any of your "spaces" have come in.
I have just ordered the latest 2025 Yvert et Tellier French Colony catalogue (at nearly £80) and look forward to seeing what changes there have been since the last one. If anything of interest is noted I will report next time.
By the way don’t forget to have a look at our Special Stamps and Space-fillers lists, many items of which have had their regular price reductions.
Meanwhile on these dull and dreary February days at least us philatelists can brighten up our time with our stamps. I shall soon be preparing our next A4 catalogue for March.
Terry Garcia.
