Postage Stamps
--Specialist Ireland

We are specialists dealers in Ireland and Irish-related material, including mint, used, postal history, postal stationery, and first day covers.

Irish stamps and postal history are keenly collected all over the world by Irish ex-patriots and foreign nationals alike.  Ireland, up until recently had a very conservative issuing policy and the stamps were produced for postal use only.  For this reason, pre-1970's stamps tend to fetch good prices at auction.

From the 1970's onwards, the Irish Post Office began to design stamps with collectors in mind and paid much greater attention to design quality and theme.  Irish stamp designers regularly win awards and this has helped keep modern issues in demand where stamps from other countries now have minimal sales value at auction and with dealers.

We regularly buy at auctions and fairs in Ireland and overseas.  New stock is added at least once a month, and our range is being expanded. 

In addition to this, our prices are substantially less than many of our competitors.
