BOLTON WANDERERS FA CUP Winners Wembley 1922-1923 Football Stamps (David Jack)

Description: Set of 4 Bolton Wanderers FA Cup Football Stamps On offer here is a nice little piece of Bolton memorabilia - 3 mint, unused, pristine postage stamps and £2 Minisheet (featuring David Jack) commemorating Bolton's exploits in the FA Cup. The next 2 stamps (showing players including David Jack waiting for the game to be re-started; and the Club Crest at the time) commemorate the 1922-23 Final, the first to be staged at Wembley at what was to become known as the White Horse Final. The last stamp depicts Bolton goalkeeper Stan Hanson punching clear an attack from the Blackpool forwards during the 1953 FA Cup (Matthews) Final. (Please note: any marks on the images below are from my scanner). FACE VALUE (Original Purchase Price) £3.65 These Great Sporting Events "Local Issue" stamps were issued in 1996 by six postal authorities of the United Kingdom (UK). They were released to chart the history of the FA Cup Final, and depict great moments from finals over the years. The F.A. Cup Collection was officially authorised by the Football Association and the clubs who are featured. Each of the six postal authorities issued six stamp designs (Gairsay issued 8) and 2 souvenir minisheets, totalling 38 different stamps and 12 minisheets. All of these are available as full sheets of 20 stamps, or individually in my other listings. PLEASE NOTE: The stamps are not valid for postage in mainland Britain unless the Royal Mail postage stamps are also applied. They were issued offshore and were only valid for delivery to the mainland Post Office, at which point the Royal Mail took responsibility for delivery. The postal rates for delivery to the mainland was double those of the UK, hence some of the higher value issues. The stamps are genuine, and listed in various stamp catalogues. They were issued primarily to support the boat services to the mainland and the community councils of the islands. They have also found popularity with visitors to the islands (who then use the postal service, e.g. for postcards) and stamp collectors worldwide. And for those needing a Geography lesson, the six postal authorities are: BERNERA (Great Bernera and Little Bernera - northwest of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides); DAVAAR - an island at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch in Kintyre Peninsular, Argyll; EASDALE - A small island in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland, 16 miles south of Oban; GAIRSAY lies at the eastern end of Eynhallow Sound and at the northern exit of Wide Firth, Orkney; and Gugh Island and St. Martin in the Scillies off Cornwall.
