Lloyd Barrington Smith was a black stamp dealer based in Jamaica in the mid-20th century who is noted within Jamaican philately for his patriotic covers supporting the allies during World War II.
He married Kathleen Dickson on 18 November 1939.
As a stamp dealer, Barrington Smith dealt principally in used British Commonwealth stamps, but the home-made and naive patriotic covers that he sold in bulk during the war years have become collectable in their own right. Barrington Smith traded from 1935 until about 1962, initially as a printer, soon becoming a stamp dealer and later a stamp wholesaler and supplier of "tropical novelties". He is not believed to have been connected with the Leicester, England, firm of philatelic accessary wholesalers Barrington Smith.
He traded under his own name and also as the Buccaneer Hobby Club from 127 Hagley Park Road, Half Way Tree Post Office, Jamaica, and was the publisher of The West Indian Philatelist.
