Hi, I have an extensive Cape of Good Hope triangle collection, which is currently a mishmash to sort out and also a number of fiscal stamps (rectangular).
I recently bought the 2024 Gibbons Commonwealth and British Empire 1840-1970, and I am having difficulty finding the fiscals listed. Any ideas where to look?
Also any assistance with sorting out my Cape triangles would be greatly appreciated. Being colour blind does not help my cause.

Hi Dave there is a dedicated discussion thread here specifically for Cape Triangles. Beryllium Guy is excellent and knowledgeable about shades and printings, given a good scanned image , and there are three or four of us who chip in information and examples . Sorry I can’t advise on the fiscals but someone will provide help I m sure. |

Many thanks for your post, dave, and welcome back to the Forum! It's good to hear from you again. I recall when you joined TSF in 2021, when I was still living in the UK, and I was looking forward to seeing your accumulation of Cape Triangles. Well, I am now looking forward to that again, and I hope you will favor us by posting some images in this thread: thestampforum.boards.net/thread/9738/cape-good-hope-triangular-issues?page=33As Alex ( vikingeck) and Jeff ( JeffS) have indicated, there are a few members now with Cape Triangles, so if you post some images, you will surely get some responses. I hope you will give it a try. As for the COGH Fiscal or Revenue Stamps, I have re-titled this thread for that purpose, so I hope you will post some images of those here. As Rod ( rod222) has responded, he has a catalogue that can help with those. Looking forward to seeing some items from your Cape collection....  |

Cape of Good Hope
Queen Victoria & King Edward VII Era Revenue Stamps
Arranged on Hagner Stock SheetAll right, so I have decided to get the ball rolling on this new thread suggested by dave by posting my handful of COGH revenue/fiscal stamps. Like Dave, I also do not have a catalogue for these, so I have never been able to ID them properly, and these may well not even be in the proper order as shown below. I will happily re-order them as needed, once I get the correct info. rod222, are you able to assist with ID, please?

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

I too have accumulated a few of these. 6 of my 7 are shown on the catalogue pages rod222 has scanned. My one penny violet with a crown and CC watermark must be from an earlier set.  |
