Hello again, Yes we will move on from Jamaica and look at a few stamps from KUT, Kenya Uganda and Tanganyika.
The history for these countries makes for what I think is a very interesting collecting area. The postal administrations of the three were amalgamated on January 1st 1933. and stamps issued until 1976 when the postal union was dissolved and each territory issued separate stamps. I won’t write anymore but recommend this short read from the Stanley Gibbons page if you want to learn more.The
first stamps were issued in 1935, the George V pictorial definitives, and a few
weeks later the Silver Jubilee issue.
The
above shows the dhow and is a stamp always worth checking if you have a
copy. there is a printing variety where
the rope of the dhow is joined to the sail
and also, and far more importantly, a perf variety which commands considerable
sums both mint and used.
Enjoy your stamps and all they bring us. Michael cddstamps.com

thanks to my friend at British Commonwealth Album here - and you might
