Stamps at the Collectors Shop Blackrock Market

… the best place in Ireland to shop for Irish stamps and postal history

—————————————————————————————————————–

Many people do not realise that Ireland issed the world’s first postage stamp.

As part of the United Kingdon of Great Britain & Ireland, the famous Penny Black stamp was issued in Ireland as well as the rest of the kingdom.

Great Britain Used in Ireland is a category of collecting stamps that were used in Ireland.

Before issue of numbered and name cancels, some postmarks had distinctly Irish variations. e.g. Irish variations of the famous Maltese cross postmarks.

Later on, every postal town/village in Ireland had its own, unique name and number

In time, more post offices were established and some disappeared (and had their numbers taken by other postal towns)

Railway and shipping companies were quick to get in on this – and issued their own unique frankings

During the 1916 Easter Rising all of the equipment in the GPO was destroyed.  Letters and postcards still had to be delivered and the stamps used on them had to be cancelled.  While new franking equipment was being made, the postal authority used an emergency cancel (a barred oval, with Dublin in the centre) – a cancel usually only used on parcels.  When used on low value stamps on an envelope or postcard, this cancel is worth much more than when used on a parcel.

Until the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 this was the only way to collect Irish stamps and there are still uses that come after 1922 during the Transition Period before new Irish stamps were issued though there are some oddities that allow you to collect Great Britain Used in Ireland for a short time after 1922.
