Redonda
I have been given a set of three stamps (25c, 55c, $4) of Redonda
commemorating the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. I can't seem to find them anywhere in Scott. Are they cinderellas? Thanks in advance. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -- http://www.amedialuz.ca/ |

Redonda
"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 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. |
