Jamaica – The Postal History

This collection of Jamaica Postal History represents one of the finest in existence today. Items included in this collection have come from many important collections including Surtees, Britnor, Latham, Heart, Macoy, Topaz, Cameron, Tatham and Raine. Portions of this collection have been exhibited and have won numerous awards including a large silver at the International London, England 1980, gold medals at Stampex England 1975 and the grand award at both the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada and Stampex Toronto. It is an honor for us to be able to offer such an important collection to our customers. Many of the items in this collection are unique or extremely rare. The handstamp strike, in most cases, represents the best quality available to the market. We believe the manuscript town section to be the finest in existence today. We are most pleased to receive consignments of specialized and superior quality collections for inclusion in upcoming Sissons Auctions. We are now accepting material for our Spring Auction. If you are interested in selling your material through us please contact us at your convenience. [Vendor believed to be Willson] Yours truly, LEX DE MENT President
