St. Kitts–Nevis

St. Kitts–Nevis was a British colony in the northernmost Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. As you might have guessed, it was made up of the former separate colonies of St. Christopher and Nevis. At this time, Anguilla was attached to St. Kitts.

Issues for St. Christopher and Nevis were replaced by those of the Leeward Islands in 1895. When St. Kitts-Nevis was formed in 1903, Leeward Islands stamps were still usable in the new colony until phased out in 1956.

 * In 1938-50, definitive designs now with George VI, three low values (½, 1, 1½, 2½d) in a small size with portrait only. Over time, there were major shades on several values, plus chalky and ordinary papers, and the large values in perf 13x12 or perf 14.
 * In 1950, six definitives were overprinted for the Anguilla tercentenary.
