Item Description

Eynhallow (meaning “Holy Isle”) is a small, presently uninhabited island, part of the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of mainland Scotland. There is no ferry to the island, although Orkney Heritage Society organizes a trip each July. Otherwise, visitors have to arrange their own transport to the island by private local boat hire. Eynhallow bogus labels were created and produced for or by Clive Feigenbaum (with permission from the laird) and existed solely to separate collectors from their money as there has never existed any valid need for a local postal service. They are therefore not British Locals according to the rules set out for what legitimate British Local stamps are used for and can only be considered as bogus labels. These labels in the name of Eynhallow were used in a tax shelter scheme in which the defendants were convicted.(information copied from Colnect)
