The Summer Isles pedigree as fully fledged postal authority began on the first of December 1970 by arrangement with the Royal Mail when a definitive set of six values ( 1d to 2/6d ) was issued. With decimalisation the stamps were reissued in 1971 and 1977 bearing new values overprinted. All these are now scarce and eagerly sought by collectors worldwide. Examples of subsequent issues are illustrated below.

The Post Office carries a representative stock of Summer Isles products and opens for visitors from May to September, Monday to Saturday. The entire range is available throughout the year from the Philatelic Bureau, established to form a link with collectors and to provide administrative, design and production support to the Post Office.
