The 'Old' in Old Island
How old is old??

The Old Island in our name does not have anything to do with how old our company is. Old Island is a local expression on Salt Spring Island. When something is said to be Old Island, it harkens back to a time when everyone on the Island knew everyone else.  When people did not lock their doors, and when people were more inclined to look out for one another.  When you bought or sold things on the Island in those days, you knew the person you were dealing with.  Among other things, Old Island is about pride in craftsmanship.

That is what the Old Island in The Old Island Stamp Company is all about. We are Old Island....We simply make the best stamps we know how, and we are proud to sell them to friends and neighbours at a price which provides them with excellent value.  

The Old Island Stamp Company is no longer on Salt Spring Island , but it is in a place similar in many ways. Lions Bay is a small village with a very strong sense of community, and people do know and look out for one another. I believe in the sentiment behind the name and am proud to carry it forward.
