Didn't someone say they collected trains. I don't know anything about this souvenir sheet, but it does have trains. Does anyone have a catalog number or near value for this piece. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Jeff

One of the great mysteries of life.
Stanley Gibbons does not list Dhufar, or Bogdolia
or angushetia, or printmillionsolia.
Yet they List Uganda?
Do Ugandans use the mail that much?

SG932a 1991
one of a set of 4 minisheets

16 great brit pounds mint.

The Uganda Cowries, also known as the Uganda Missionaries, were the first adhesive postage stamps of Uganda. Because there was no printing press in Uganda the stamps were made on a typewriter by Rev. E. Millar of the Church Missionary Society.

I like the giraffe ignoring the modern technology (the train) and paying attention to the supposed photographer (and the viewer).

Does this count as a Giraffe on Stamp?
