I just started collecting Guyana/British Guiana stamps a couple of years ago. Something I can teach the tyke about and to keep me occupied in my old age. By the way, I am looking for a copy of Guiana 1838.
GT, I got my copy of Guiana 1838 while photographing a wedding in Atlanta. it does not seem it was in the main stream distribution system You might have to look where lots of Guyanese live, like on Liberty Avenue.
I have a few copies of Guyana independence First Day Issue stamps. At first I type appropriate information on an envelope and get the stamps with postmark at Nigg Albion post office, then I would take bus to get the Official First Day of Issue post mark done at New Amsterdam post office, near the ferry stalling. I also have some original independence envelope with the arches, stamps and post mark.
The most unusual independence envelope in my collection is returned registered envelopes, when I sent cheques from his parents to my friend in New York around 1966 and have him return the envelopes to me. In those days registered letters had a felt pen cross on the envelopes.
