Auctions - Approvals | re: Question on Caribbean Netherlands
I have done some research as well and could not find much more than you. As of Jan 1 2014, the right to operate the postal service on the three islands has been granted to a different company and following that, new stamps were issued some months later.
As far as I could tell the new company wanted to emphasize the three islands but nowhere it was said that stamps inscribed "Saba" could only be used on Saba etc.
So I assume they are valid on all three islands, never mind what is printed on the stamp.

I hope that emphasizing the individual islands was not the selling point that got this company the contract, or the country really got snookered. How does issuing 3 virtually identical, god-awful boring designs, do anything to assert the identity of any of the islands?
