I have never seen this red-on-red before but I suddenly come up with 8 of them. Can any one help identify, please? I use Scott. Thanks in advance. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Those are neat! They must have been se-tenants; there's four of each Afrikaans and British! I wished I could help you with the ID's!

Thanks very much, Peter. I would now like to see the half-penny with myrtle green-on-green. Incidentally, this is interesting too, I think.  |

A bit further investigation reveals that these are supposed to be coil stamps, and attached vertically. In other words, a se-tenant pair has one stamp above the other. The Stanley-Gibbons catalog number is 106 and the stamp depicts van Riebeek's ship.

Well, do what I did and go to www.Delcampe.net. If you search for South Africa 1943 you will find several of the green and the red ones. I think the green one is SG 105! Peter |

A tiny cover that defies my interpretation. 1. CDS Postmark OOGIES ( Mpumalanga, South Africa) No country name? 2. Date is hard to read, stamp suggests 1955 or circa. 3. Why is the Taxe of 17˝ cents in centimes? 4. Why is the New York Pmk mute? 5.Why is there an US due ? Further: Addressed to "The Stanley Works" Connecticut (No backstamps or markings)   |

Tony Vella, the stamps with the advertisements are from the 1935 booklet panes of six stamps. There are 21 different advertisement arrangements in total - in other words,21 different booklet panes. Similar examples exist of the 1/2d Sprinbok stamp. Again booklet panes of six stamps but with only 10 different advertisement arrangements. The same booklet panes were overprinted for the Johannesburg International Philatelic Exhibition in 1936, each stamp on the pane has a JIPEX 1936 overprint in two lines. The real challenge is trying to find the entire range, with and without overprints

rod222 the miniature sheet was issued on October 9, 2009, and is one of a set of two. The second miniature sheet has a face value of R5,40 and depicts the Stamp show logo and are catalogued as 1972 and 1973 in the South African Stamp Colour Catalogue, sorry but can't help out with Gibbons or Scott catalogue numbers |
