Why?

When I first started to build this website the goal was to make platform form my own collection. Where in one place I could have overview of my collection.  Then I decided to gather in one place all available information regarding Icelandic Bridge Cancel.  

Why some can ask, is the page not in Icelandic, that’s because of a respect for foreign stamp collectors that have made Iceland as part of their collections. Hopefully all collectors of Icelandic bridge cancel will contact and share their experience in this field.  The owner and editor of this website is a member of the Philatelic associations here in Iceland and after wandering around the philatelic world for few years the focus went on collecting Icelandic Bridge Cancel.  


How to use this website?

You will find fundamental books for collecting bridge cancels on this site. Under “The collection” all bridge cancels that are in the Facit cataloge will be listed and information about when they where used. Brian Flack has given his permission to display his county collection and there are almost all post and collecting offices in Iceland listed, old photos and valuable knowledge from our postal history. Then you have access to The Iceland Philatelic Magazine that is packed with all kind of information’s. 

This will be ongoing..

The work on website like this will never be finished.  Hopefully I will get some letters from my readers both if you see some errors or you want to contribute information. Everything that helps to improve this site.  The email is sigurdur@bridgecancels.is. 

If you have collection..

If you have collection of stamps that you are planning to sell please contact me.  I am willing to lend you a hand in taking next steps.  It dosen’t have to be bridge cancels it can be all kind of philatelic material.
