Back on  June 14th I reported on the high prices being achieved by Irish Railway Letter Stamps and in the last few days what has to be some of the rarest survivors of the genre have appeared on the USA eBay site here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IRELAND-3d-Cavan-Leitrim-Railway-Co-Complete-sheet-/270618038135?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f02178f77#ht_1037wt_905

There are two different lots – each a full sheet – with the ‘Buy it Now‘ price being a breathtaking $600.00 per sheet. However, if you collect these rare birds you should have a look as there can’t be very many full sheets of any Irish Railway Company’s stamps in existence. Shame we don’t have a National Railway Museum!
