Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are seeking stamps (or condition or quality) not listed here, you are also welcome to send your want list using Scott, Facit, or AFA numbers.
The images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most DWI stamps had between two and eight printings, thus colors vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider.

Scott #37 [1905 1 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] Upper Left Corner Margin example, NEVER HINGED with XF centering and excellent perforations. An outstanding example. The corner margin adds to the appeal for some collectors, but it does not increase the price.

Scott #37 [1905 1 franc Ship in St. Thomas Harbor] NEVER HINGED with VF centering and excellent perforations. This example (from position 2 in the sheet) shows a small plate scratch line in the left margin. In DWI philately, such lines are called an "Engstrom lines" after the DWI collector and author who documented these lines on copper-plate engraved stamps. The lines add interest, but do not increase the price. Wonderful color and freshness.
