At Nottingham Stamp Centre Ltd, we offer a captivating selection of artifacts that showcase a rich postal heritage from around the world. Our collection includes everything from vintage covers to rare postal documents, providing valuable additions for both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
Postal history is a branch of philately that focuses on the history and development of postal systems, services, and routes rather than just the stamps themselves. While traditional philately often centers on collecting and studying postage stamps, postal history delves into the broader context of how mail has been handled, transported and delivered throughout history.
While it’s difficult to define strict categories in postal history, below is a sample of the items we offer:
Envelopes and postcards that have traveled through time, adorned with original postmarks and stamps that tell the story of their journey.
Unique cancellation marks, instructional labels, and other postal markings that reveal the operational side of postal history. Each item a clue to how and where it was handled.
Wartime censored mail, early airmail covers, or postal stationery from distant lands, our collection offers specialised pieces that provide deeper insights into the social and political contexts of their time.
To explore our selection, we encourage you to attend one of our events, particularly stamp fairs, where you can view these fascinating items in person.
As we transition from a primarily physical shop to establishing an online presence, we are working on making our stock available for direct online purchase where feasible. For now, you can purchase items by contacting us directly. You can call us, send an email or visit us at one of the events listed in our 'Event Calendar'. If you plan to visit us in person, we recommend reaching out ahead of time so we can ensure the items you want are available when you arrive. Thank you for your patience during this migration period.
