Jubilee - I've just bought my first of the Tanganyika set that you mentioned. There are 19 values in all, from 1922, and then a further 4 values issued in 1925 when they changed the colours for four of the values.

I think, after the Mozambique stamp that is my avatar, that they're close to my favourite giraffe stamps - they're bordering on iconic. I would have used it as the favicon for my site, but the corresponding .com site (which is a stamp store) already had it and I didn't want to risk any confusion!

It's one of my favourite sets, and the high values are very hard to find at a non-bankruptcy price!

Nice.
But looks like water is becoming difficult to find.
I wonder if they are white with brown spots,
or brown with white lines.

I have 42 Giraffes, in my stamp zoo.
