This January 17, 1995 70c value (Sc #730) of Zimbabwe is from the "Places of Economic and Historical Importance" definitive series. It depicts the "Boggie Clock Tower" in Gweru, central Zimbabwe. It is named after a man with the surname Bogie, but the spelling has somehow changed. The cancel is MBARE MUSIKA, a southern suburb of Harare and the site of a large produce market. From zimbabwetourism.net, "The tower was erected in 1928 by Jeannie, the wife of Major William James Bogie, in memory of her late husband."   |
