| Abstract: | The British Post Office, relinquished its postal responsibility of the Isle of Man on July 4th, 1973, after taking care of the Island's mail for more than 300 years. To mark the occasion, the British Post Office issued a "last day" cover, complete with the then current 4 Isle of Man regional values - 2 1/2p, 3p, 5p,. and 7 1/2p. On 5th July, we saw the birth of a new stamp issuing authority within the U.K. Thus four independent postal issues now form part of the British lsles area. |
