The rail series has proved again to be very popular in 2019 with the stand out covers being the fantastic ‘Last Steam on the Underground’ cover which also marked the 150th anniversary of the District Line, our partnership with ‘The Old Culham Ticket Office’ to get the Didcot to Oxford 175 anniversary cover carried whilst the West Highland Railway to Fort William 125th was a complete sell-out! It’s always difficult to gauge which anniversaries, journeys, lines and locos to feature each year and kicking off with the controversial Waverley Line Closure was also going to be a risk given the protests surrounding it in 1969. It was however, a risk we felt was worth taking as it would work well in collections if handled with respect, hopefully we did just that. R337 £15 2020 is shaping up to be a great calendar so make Farewell to Waverley 50th Anniversary sure to join the Rail Series early to get your hands on some really special commemoratives, we’re also working with a number of railways in 2020 which always make for great projects.

It’s been a really busy year for Maritime events, anniversaries and new ships with four late additions to the original 2019 calendar. As much as we like to stick to the plan some things always ‘slip the radar’ in the planning so we have a mild panic in the office but always seem to get the covers over the line. HMS Medway and the meeting of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carriers at Portsmouth were the two main ones that caught us out this year. The meeting we had planned but no date was announced, we had a cover ready to print and then the news broke that the meeting would be the following day! There goes all the planning and design BCN022 £12.50 HMY Iolaire Centenary time! Luckily we had a contingency plan and I’m sure the cover of such a historic moment in Royal Naval history will be a sell-out. A particular favourite of 2019 seems to have been our Sinking of the Tirpitz cover which sold out sharpish, while our ultra-sensitive commemoration in January of the devastating Sinking of HMY Iolaire Centenary was thankfully well received. The watercolour painting by artist John Wigston is beautiful and really is a moving tribute to those who sadly lost their lives in the disaster. 2020 looks to be a quieter year in the Maritime series although the huge anniversaries of the Mary Rose (Sinking at Battle of Solent 475th ann) and the Mayflower 400th anniversary are BCN031 £10.95 Cutty Sark 150th Anniversary sure to be stand-out in the year.
