The 1872 - 1881 Period The second period, 1872 - 1881, covers the stamps produced by De La Rue & Company on paper with a Crown CC watermark and their usage. In November, 1871 De la Rue obtained the printing contract and the plates previously used by Perkins, Bacon & Company were delivered to them. The first stamp deliveries arrived in Antigua in 1872.
