Lundy puffin postage stamps are widely known amongst the stamp collectors. The history behind the stamps of Lundy is pretty similar to stamps of Herm Island (see yesterday’s post if you missed it).
For couple of years I’ve had this single Herm Islands stamp in my albums. It is part of the 1961 Europa (CEPT) set of 6 different local stamps issued on September 18th 1961.
I think most stamp collectors do make unusual (and random) findings from kiloware (assuming it is truly unsorted).
One of the rules I follow when buying bizarre looking stamps (of which I know usually nothing in advance) is simple question “will I ever see a similar item?” When I came across with these beauties few years ago, I knew from the start I had lost the battle. And I was right, I haven’t seen similar ever since.
