Stamps used in French Equatorial Africa,
As it suggests French interests around the equator
section of Africa.
Very Common, but nice stamps,
designs that helped make boys and girls want to collect stamps in the 1950's.

French Equatorial Africa (French: Afrique équatoriale française) or the AEF was the federation of French colonial possessions in Middle Africa, extending northwards from the Congo River to the Sahara Desert. (Wikipédia)
