Cayman Islands Half Penny Postage & Revenue Stamp (Cat Boat)

This item is a postage and revenue stamp from the Cayman Islands, featuring a design centered around a "Cat Boat" sailing scene. The stamp is predominantly green and blue-grey in color, with a white border and typical perforated edges. The top left of the stamp features the bold text "CAYMAN ISLANDS" with "POSTAGE & REVENUE" underneath. On the left side, two prominent palm trees stand near the water's edge. The central image depicts a small sailboat, identified as a "CAT BOAT" in small text below the boat, on what appears to be calm waters, with two figures visible within the boat and other distant ships on the horizon. The right side of the stamp features a profile portrait of a bearded man, likely a monarch such as King George V, enclosed within an ornate oval frame that resembles a braided rope. Below this portrait, within a shield-like emblem also framed by rope, is the denomination "1/2d" (half penny). The bottom edge of the stamp clearly states "HALF PENNY". The visible condition appears to be excellent, with sharp details and no discernible creases, tears, or significant discoloration. The perforations are intact and uniform, suggesting it may be uncancelled or in a very well-preserved state. The design style suggests an early 20th-century issuance, characteristic of British colonial stamps during that period. The intricate details of the boat, the palm trees, and the portrait engraving indicate a high level of craftsmanship for philatelic items of this era.
