Just for Stamp Collectors
More Just for Stamp Collectors
Now two quick looks at some fascinating philatelic highways and by-ways.
I know! I know! British India, if you look just at a regular catalogue, has to be
one of the most boring countries in the world to collect. But take a look
at this page; we dig below the surface to show you a whole new world of Indian
Postal History that just might make you rethink your stamp collecting priorities!
For specialist information on Indian stamps used in Aden, please visit my latest page:
India Used in Aden
Paquebot Cancellations
This page is not long up and still incomplete.
And will probably be always so! Such a huge topic, such a
small collection; even a once-over-lightly is still a very distant dream!
Hong Kong Treaty Port Cancellations
To the everlasting delight of philatelists everywhere,
Hong Kong stamps were used on letters mailed at British post offices in a number
of Chinese ports (and a couple of Japanese also) in the 19th. and 20th Centuries.
These can be detected by their cancellations.
Stamps of the Suez Canal Company
Private labels put out by the SCC in 1868 to pay for carrying letters through the Canal.
They only lasted for a few months, but, presumably because of their rarity and relative
crudity of design, were heavily forged. Find out how to tell the
good guys from the bad.
South Africa: the Pictorial Issues of 1926-54
The various printings of these issues can be quite difficult to distinguish.
