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.

The two islands were united in 1903.

 * In 1903, two definitive designs were issued, Columbus looking through a telescope (not invented in his time) and a medicinal spring, a design used in the badge of the colony. These were on paper watermarked crown CA.
 * In 1905-18, the designs were released on multiple crown CA paper, both normal and chalky paper.
 * In 1920-22, a larger design including George V were issued, with values except the lowest values to 2½d on chalky paper.
 * In 1921-29, the watermark became the multiple script CA type, now with the 2½d, 3d, and 6d and above values on chalky paper.
 * In 1923, a tercentenary set showing a sailing ship in Old Road Bay was released. The 5/- and £1 values were watermarked multiple crown CA.
 * Beginning in 1935, the Silver Jubilee set led off the the run of colonial omnibus issues to follow.
 * 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.
 * In 1952, the colony was renamed St. Kitts–Nevis Anguilla. See: St. Kitts–Nevis Anguilla.
