I'm hoping some of our UK friends can help me obtain more of these regional issues from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I will take any and all dupes that you might have, hopefully I have something you would like in trade. I am posting a scan of some that I have as an example. Postally used only please! I am generally not a mint collector. View attachment 2120
i will sort you some more out Darrin, i do have lots, and also have lots on paper not sure if these interest you at all?
Steve, call me crazy...after I just confessed to being philatelically saturated but yes, I would definitely be interested in them both on and off paper. I still have plenty of dupes and can send you another packet after looking through your catawiki pages. As I put together my GB album, I am focusing on a little bit at a time and I have the majority of the regional QEII definitives (are these considered Wildings as well given the portrait?) and thought it would be a good start to see if I can complete those couple of pages.
Darrin If after Steve's kind offer, you are still short of a few drop me a line - I have "one or two" (LOL) spare Wildings are the predecimisaltion stamps such as those issued in 1952 onwards upto 1960's prior to the introduction of the Machin designs. However, just to complicate matters some of the Wilding design were issued fairly recently with decimal values. Regretfully sat in my hotel room, bored out of my skull at 3am, I dont have catalogues with me to give you references , but if you need them just PM me and I will send them as soon as I am home. As far as I am aware, these regional stamps of the series you show do not have a design name ( I am sure others will correct me if I am wrong ) Hope this helps
Thank you for your help. I know the stamps that I posted a picture of at the beginning of the thread are not Wildings. What I should have more clearly asked is whether the Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Scotland regional issues of the 1958 to 1967 time period are also under the umbrella of what UK philatelists would consider Wildings?
Darrin i feel that although Dorothy Wilding's portrait was used on the regional stamps of 1958, they were not classed as Wilding's and keep their own place in regional issue stamps, as the general wildings had the national flowers of each region in a circle around the portrait, the regionals only have the one flower emblem of their own region this is only my opinion Steve
Darrin I have just joined this site and live in scotland and have some duplicate scottish regional stamps let me know if you are still interested in them Jim
