Antigua & Barbuda stamps

P=have O=don’t have it

Antigua is an island between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east-southeast of Puerto Rico. The Spanish discovered Antigua in 1493, christened after Santa Maria de la Antigua, a church in Sevilla. The island was settled by the British, lead by Sir Thomas Warner, in 1632…..

In 1871, the island colonies of Antigua (with Barbuda), Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Dominica were joined to form the Federation Leewards Islands Colony; it's seat of administration was St. John's on Antigua. In 1958, the Federated Leeward Islands Colony was dissolved, and Antigua joined the Federation of the West Indies. It was dissolved in 1962. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/caribbean/xantigua.html

Antigua & Barbuda became an independent state within the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1981.

Inside #1397: Private Mt. Rigi Hotel StampO

Swiss hotel post

In the Swiss mountains, remoted hotels often issued their own stamps (comparable stamps from Austria, Romania and Hungary) to carry the post from the hotel to the nearest post office, examples are Rigi Kaltbad, Belalp, Maderanerthal, Rigi Scheideck etc.

The Swiss stamps were used for about 20 years. In 1864, the first Swiss hotel postal service functioned with its own stamps: Rigi-Kalibad. From September 26, 1883, a special service order by the postal services made an end to this stamping with such private stamps and the use of these stamps was forbidden by the government (but some hotels still issued labels).

The hotel’s aim was clear: provide more service to its customers. So, important hotels had their own mailman who brought the mail to the official post office down in the valley and from there also brought back the mail to the hotel.

For this service, the hotel charged a minimal fee, usually 5, 10 or 15 rappen, with which the extra postage by means of a private stamp was settled. The official post office then stuck on the normal postage.

Unused, there are but a few hotel stamps rarely to be found. On postal items and especially on complete letters, such stamps are, without any exception, very expensive and wanted.

Lou wrote: Here's a mystery s/s from Antigua-Barbuda which showed up on the Bombay Philatelic site for December 2024. It does not appear anywhere else I would expect it--IGPC, WOPA +, Colnect. Altho Bombay does not normally sell such items, I believe this is another IGPC prepared-never issued "dump", which have appeared on the market from time to time, and is NOT an official issue. I would imagine it was to be part of a series on philatelic aviation history releases from various IGPC client nations.

I have several IGPC prepared-never issued items in my collection, which I bought before I found out about their actual status. Some are very interesting.

In addition to a multitude of Swiss private and semi-private air flight labels (some of which were used on actual flights), there are two SoS-- the first two Swiss airmail stamps issued in 1919-1920, Switzerland Sc #C1-C2. very handsome overprinted stamps. Scott lists stamps in value order and not in chronological order, and #C2 was issued the year before #C1 which was necessary as the Swiss post had lowered the cost of an airmail letter.
