Thanks for your positive comments, Jon ( blaamand ). I am finding that I like using the stock pages at this point to arrange and re-arrange my collection. Especially under my current circumstances, where the bulk of my collection is in California and I am living in the UK, it allows me to make some progress on things, knowing that I will eventually bring everything together. For COGH at least, I managed to bring everything with me, so what I have posted here is what there is. In addition to this primary COGH collection, where I have tried to focus on the best examples of each catalogue-numbered stamp I could find, I am also preparing stock sheets with more color varieties, both listed and unlisted, as well as postmarks. So, be on the lookout for those in the coming days. I also just wanted to acknowledge and express my sincere thanks to you, Rene ( renden ), and Michael ( Londonbus1 ) as three of the main sources for the stamps in my COGH collection. The material you sent, Jon, has been especially useful for comparing color varieties, which are important in correctly identifying COGH stamps. I will be posting more about that in the future, too. Anyway, stay stampy, all!  |

Many of the COGH Victorian period stamps have part strikes of "Duplex" cancels ie a Number in Bars to kill the stamp, plus a datestamp with town name to record date of posting .
Most of the time identification is tricky due to inkpads drying out, but there is a listing of Town numbers. Don't worry there's only 1400 to collect!
Your 227 on 5/- orange is KIMBERLY , and the ROBBEN IS(LAND) on the 2 1/2d is where the anti Aparteheid prisoners such as Nelson Mandela were held in the bay off Capetown . VALLEY is possibly TRAPPES VALLEY near Bathurst .
I believe the large "1" on the Edward VII 5/- is a Telegraph Office rather than a postal cancel

I have what I think are three shades but all in the Pale rose to Rose range . SG 5a / 5b Acquired for £15 yesterday from a club circulation packet . Pale Rose / Rose? / Deep Rose red? SG 5bHi, do you have the Scott / SG catalog for all triangle Cape of new hope? Thank you. Masamir |

Hi, do you have the Scott / SG catalog for all triangle Cape of new hope? Thank you. masamir The numbers I quote here are Stanley Gibbons (SG) Most collectors of South Africa prefer SG listing over Scott. Though we argue that the distinction between SG1 and SG3 are not clear and probably unnecessary, Also between SG2 and SG4 Are you asking for a list of both catalogue pages ? Is that your question? |
