Something from my old archives not often seen much less heard of. From SWH (StampWorldHistory) with estate permission.
"Italian Jubaland – which derives its name from the Jubba River – is located in eastern Africa. Jubaland is, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, part of British East Africa and from 1920 Kenya. The capital of Kismayo is the last of the cities along the Benadir Coast that de jure still resides under the authority of the sultan of Zanzibar.
The British, in 1924, agree to transfer Jubaland to Italy as compensation for Italy joining the Allies in WWI – the actual transfer to be effected in 1925. After a short period of existence as the separate Italian colony of Oltre Giuba – Italian for Trans Juba – Jubaland is annexed to Italian Somaliland in 1926.
Currently Jubaland is part of Somalia – forming one of the regions that have gained a large amount of self government since Somalia has become a federal republic in 2012."
A few assorted examples

Nelson, thank you so much for these recent posts.  Frankly, I don't know how you just seem to know which unusual and lesser known stamp-issuing entities are the ones to post for maximum interest, but you have a knack for doing it virtually every time. Thank you--I really appreciate your posts. Oltre Giuba is another one of what I call "short-lived" colonies that issued stamps for a few years but ultimately were incorporated into another entity or taken over by another colonial power. I am not entirely sure why, but I am totally attracted to this sort of material, especially when overprinted and/or surcharged. As an added comment, I would also mention that based on my experience, finding classic era stamps of Italy or Italian Colonies with VF centering can be a real challenge, and I can tell by looking at your beautiful scanned images that these are not the run-of-the-mill examples which one will find 98%+ of the time. By the way, Nelson, do you have images of Oltre Giuba, Scott #29-35? Although not expensive, especially as unused stamps, these stamps depicting a map of the territory are a beautiful set, in my opinion, but one which took me a while to assemble with stamps of decent centering. I have a reasonably nice set back in California, but unfortunately, I did not think to scan them before now, and so will not have access again until Christmas. If you have a set to show, I would love to see them again. |
