Edward VIII stamps

Although only four postage stamps were issued for the reign of King Edward VIII there is still a wealth of material in the BPMA collections.

There are also registration sheets for the stamps in normal sheet format. Some of these are overprinted for the Morocco Agencies and Tangier. Others are as prepared for various types of issued booklets and rolls. All, except the overprinted ones, are imperforate.

We also keep ‘To Pay’ labels printed on watermarked ‘Edward VIII’ paper in complete, imperforate sheets.

Access

The best way to see all our philatelic and postal history collections is by appointment with the Senior Curator, Philately, Douglas Muir. To make an appointment, please call 020 7239 2570 or email info@postalheritage.org.uk.
