LOCAL POST: Attractive display of the island's 'Penny Post'-&-beyond with commercial covers with 1d Flower, 1c Bird or 1c Architecture plus six different 5c issues, then a study of the various locally produced 5c booklets x26 & 10c booklets x7 with a range of commercial & philatelic covers with the locally printed stamps, generally very fine. With print runs of no more than 6000 per booklet, and most of them in the hands of collectors, commercial covers are quite scarce & generally underrated. (Image1)
