KRIEGSGEFANGENEN- UND LAGERPOST: 1915, Knockaloe, Insel Man, Lagerpostmarke in braun, vierseitig gezähnt, sauber mit Stempel “KNOCKALO” auf kleinem Briefstück, eine sehr seltene Marke, nur wenige Stücke bekannt, gute Erhaltung

1786/1840, diverse and scarce group of 20 18th- and 19th-century postal history covers to and from Jersey, including a rare 1871 ballon monté cover (repaired, certificate Roumet 2018), forwarding agent usages (1818–1831), five “Southampton Ship Letter” markings (1775–1840), an early 1786 forwarded letter via Thomas Durrell, and a broad range of mostly pre-stamp mail from 1776 to 1840, mostly fine condition

NEWSPAPERS: 1831/1945, ‘Chronique de Jersey’, 13.8.1831, 3.1.1835 to 26.12.1935 and 17.2.1941 to 20.11.1941 and ‘The Evening Post’ 28.6.1940 to 9.5.1945 as well as a single copy of ‘La Nouvelle Chronique de Jersey’ from 19.11.1859, a total of just over 1000 copies, probably the most extensive and almost complete collection of daily newspapers from the island of Jersey apart from a few issues.
