WHO WE ARE
Empire Philatelists is the trading name of Just Posh Art Ltd. Stuart, our stamp guy, took an interest in stamps as a boy and started collecting in the late 1960's. After setting up a shop on eBay to sell some of his collection he realised he could turn his hobby into a business and so Empire Philatelists was born.
We buy and sell fine quality British Empire & Commonwealth Stamps covering all reigns of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, from 1840 to the 1990s.
WHY EMPIRE PHILATELISTS?
Empire Philatelists are buyers and sellers of fine quality British Commonwealth Stamps. We have been trading in philatelic material since 1997 and have built an excellent reputation as a reliable and trustworthy seller.

We sell stamps from all British Empire and Commonwealth countries dated 1840 through to the 1990`s covering the reigns of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

DISCOVERIES BY EMPIRE PHILATELISTS
Usually, the ‘CA’ watermark is visible on the rear of the stamp in inverted form, so that you read it as ‘AC.’ but we quickly saw that our example of the stamp had the watermark visible as ‘CA.’
Gibraltar 1960 10s Yellow & Blue (SG172) with an ‘extra petal’ on one of the flowers of its design. Stanley Gibbons have agreed that the error was catalogue-worthy, provided they can determine its sheet position.
Labuan 1892 6c on 8c Mauve Surcharged in Red (Inverted) & with No Dot at Lower Left. Stamp is SG36a & SG36b Combined. The only known example which benefits from a Brandon Certificate
Hong Kong 1891 20c on 30c Grey-Green SG48b with Surcharge Double with a CV of £25,000. Supported by a Brandon Certificate we have been unable to find this fine used very rare variety ever being sold and therefore conclude that this is a unique find
