Lot 2894 A

East Africa. ★★/★/⊙. Hundreds of stamps, British and German, mint and used, QV to QE2 housed in one substantial album, interspersed with dozens of items of postal history. Much emphasis is on postmarks and some of the countries include K.U.T., Sudan, German East Africa, German Colonies especially Kaiser's Yachts used in those territories, Rhodesia and Nyasaland, etc. There are at least three dozen postal history items often with good, interesting p/c illustrations/photographs such as 'Markets in Lamu', 'Mombassa Swimming Club', 'Gruess Aus', ethnic and tribal to give a flavour of what is here. In the other covers, there are interesting items such as 'undeliverable' strike KGV, an interesting Sudan first flight, combination official covers and much more. The German Colonies has postmarks from places such as Soga, Kilossa, Kilimatini, Tabora, Ujijii etc, not just the obvious ones, so much here to discover. The more you study this collection which also includes collateral and reference, all the more to appreciate. Highly recommended.
