The 2004 set of 10 Royal Mail stamps marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of the first books in the Lord of the Rings series. The stamps depicted drawings illustrating locations in the books. All the illustrations are by the author except for the map which is by his son Christopher.
At the time we were producing first day covers for every stamp issue: the numbers varied according to our perceived popularity of the subject.
In each case one cover has stamps depicting 'evil' and one has the 'good' stamps. The 'good' covers have postmark E8927 (Ringwould), and the Literary Legend Sarehole Mill postmark (M8967) is on the 'evil' covers. All the covers have individual descriptive inserts.
We have found a few of these remaining in stock, and to clear them here is a very special offer. Originally they were £15.50 for a pair or £29.50 for the set of four.
For readers of this blog the prices are less than half price: £7.50 for either the pastel pair or the charcoal pair, or £15 for a set of 4. (Pairs will have the same serial number; where possible sets of 4 will have the same number.) E-mail to the usual address, for a pair or set of 4.
Ideal as a gift for Ring fans.
