The British Post Office in the Danish West Indies

Exhibitor: George Henshilwood	Award: 81; Large Silver Gilt and the Glasgow 800 Cup
Description: Although a colony of Denmark, the British Post Office had an office in St Thomas for the purpose of handling mail on many of the packet routes. The use of British stamps was introduced in 1865 and the office closed to the Public in 1877. This exhibit shows a range of rates and GB stamps used in that period.
