Topic: National Trust Posted: 30 June 2012 at 04:36 |
The National Trust has appeared on Royal Mail special issues and been the subject of a Prestige stamp booklet. The 100th anniversary was marked with stamps in 1995, while the NT for Scotland's 50th was issued 1981. Guernsey has also issued a special set in 2010 for their NT.
The National Trust for Scotland has also issued stamps for St Kilda (as a local post service, though there is no post box and special permission is required to land there). The English National Trust appropriately issued 4 stamps to commemorate the opening to the public of Tintagel Post Office, though I believe it has not been restored as that post office, but rather a different period. But here are three stamps I have not come across before, but all marked National Trust. They all appear to be different issues, but only one states its for a special reason They are all a bit twee, but has anybody any idea if, when, where and when other stamps were available? |

This is the Tintagel issue
(from the good old days when it cost 9p first class (and before Royal mail corrupted the term 'first class')) |
