Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can give me a good lead to find some Redonda Disney stamp issue dates. Currently I'm missing 4 dates.
Best Rgds, PomDave

Are you looking just for years or exact dates? If the former, there are several dealer websites with Redonda inventory listed. Just Google "redonda disney". If you're looking for exact dates, you'll likely need a Michel catalog or join Disneyana/Disnemation: https://disnemation.wixsite.com/doss |

For members / students whom wish to know more about Redonda.
From 2010
"WHERE IN THE WORLD"
Redonda is a small island in the Caribbean, and a dependency of Antigua. It is the third and smallest of the Antiguan group, and is uninhabited. It lies 30 miles from Antigua's nearest point, half way between Montserrat and Nevis with Montserrat being 13 miles away; about one mile long north to south, less than half a mile wide; and rises nearly 1000 feet. It was sighted by Columbus on the same day that he discovered Antigua, and he named the island "Santa Maria La Redonda" (St. Mary the Round).
Phosphate was mined on the island from the 1860's to about 1920. Redonda was annexed by Antigua in 1869 and labourers from Montserrat were employed on the island. The island has been unoccupied since 1930. Goats, rats, crabs and sea birds only inhabit the island.
In 1865 Matthew Sheill decided to claim the island as a fiefdom for his son, Matthew Phipps Sheill, who was named King Phillipe I by his father. King Phillipe soon gave his fiefdom to an English poet who named himself King Juan I. Dukes and duchesses were created by Juan I who in turn appointed another Englishman as his successor who now calls himself King Juan II.
Redonda has issued stamps since 1979 in anticipation of commercial and tourist development. To date, this has not happened and the island remains uninhabited. The stamps of Redonda are also valid for use in Antigua.The Scott number 9106 was assigned previously; it is no longer in use.
acknowledgement: The Australian Stamp Monthly, January, 1991
20100408 Redonda
Redonda is a 0.5 square mile island in the eastern Carribean between Montserrat and Nevis. It is owned by Antigua which began issuing stamps for Redonda in 1979. Although Redondan stamps are postally valid in Antigua and Barbuda, they are of questionable philatelic validity since Redonda is uninhabited. Major catalogs do not carry detailed listings of stamps from Redonda. The Scott number 9106 was assigned previously; it is no longer in use. The series honors Nobel Prize winners.
Rod222, Great pic from Redonda!
Some corrections are in order. Redonda was annexed by 'officially' by the UK in 1872 and attaching it to Antigua as a dependency. From what I've read and found the British government established & license the Redonda Phosphate Co. in 1869 to mine on the island. This is likely where some authors may have acquired the idea that it was annexed in 1869. Finally most information states the mining was abandoned before WW1 in 1913 or 14. They all agree that the island has been uninhabited since 1930. Edited by warrehouse - Today 30 Min ago

Does anyone have access to Redonda album pages? Steiner does not have them since the stamps are not listed in Scott. Since the stamps are valid postage in Antigua and Barbuda, I think they are just as collectible as Antigua's. |

Quote: Since the stamps are valid postage in Antigua and Barbuda, I think they are just as collectible as Antigua's. Opinion: I don't think that is the point, we can collect whatever we want. What is lacking is an emmission statement from Antigua on stamps produced, That being the case, I am sure Mr. Steiner would have made the pages. Perhaps you would care to write to the Redonda Philatelic Bureau, and see if you can get a list, we can then make pages. Please let us know your response. Not my image/cover.  |

Nice Pages Msdot, protected in mounts, to boot. Well done. Quote: my images lose all of their detail. They look OK to me, it is hard to get any better under the 200Kb limit. Opinion. If you are using anything other saving in *.jpg, you may have trouble reducing down from other formats. |
