Transitional Period Exhibition Collection

1922-25 An interesting and well presented & knowledgeably written up collection on 8 album pages, showing Ireland’s Transitional Period through envelopes, postcards and postmarks. This wonderful assembly documents the practice that during the Transitional Period from February 17, 1922 to March 31, 1922, Irish mail could be posted with British stamps and vice versa mail in the United Kingdom could be posted with Irish stamps.

The collection is arranged as follows eight pages showing Irish & British mail posted with stamps from their respective countries. Interesting combination frankings, plus GB postage due usages when GB stamps were not accepted.

A wonderful collection for the student and an excellent basis for expansion
