About us

Heart of England Philatelics specialises in Commonwealth postal history with an emphasis on material from the "Empire" period. This includes obscure postmarks, first flights, censored material, maritime mail, omnibus issues (including illustrated FDC's), postal stationary, wreck / crash mail etc etc. Handling the quantity of material we do it is amazing what turns up from time to time!

As long-standing philatelists ourselves, we can offer our customers the benefit of many years' philatelic experience.

We aim to provide a prompt, friendly service, and this is reflected in our exemplary feedback record on eBay where we have been trading as philatelicpete (a top rated seller) for nearly a decade, and are approaching a feedback rating of 6000.

On this site you can find details of the many stamp fairs and Philatelic events that we attend, and the hundreds of items we currently have for sale.

In addition, on the services page you will find an outline of some of the other things we do, including:

  • Valuations
  • Brokerage (we can sell items in your behalf)
  • Buying of collections, accumulations and individual postal history items.

Please contact us if you have any postal history items you would like to know more about, or are considering selling.
