Anything West African makes me feel like a rank amateur, E-1 Private. But this is too nice a cross-over. Someday, maybe we can forget about the WHO, but not in 1955, not certainly not now. Registered it looks. What were they were sending? A test sample? In 1955 it might still have been polio or smallpox, but sure they could handle that in Lome. Something less common? The fifty franc stamp also got my attention. Ouch!.

Stamps from the colony of Togo don,t appear to be as common or as popular as other West African colonies like Senegal or Ivory Coast.This series YV182-207 featuring hunters,milling corn, a riverside village and a young girl was issued in 1941. ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2020/10/09/fd967f86c5c7f8cb1603d3bdfe7cfc85.jpg) ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2020/10/09/3d8f8c97abdf3a8b9759b03d1e142887.jpg)

1937 Paris International Exposition YV BF1 This was part of the 1937 Omnibus series issued by 24 colonies,with usage on registered overseas letters.30,000 sheets were issued for each colony. This sheet has a cancellation from Dakar,Senegal...probably a favour cancellation. ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2021/01/23/5ae8d52085875925a0401087a1b55ed6.jpg)

Wow, only 30,000 printed and the 2009 Scott's shows a price of $6.00 mint & $7.50 used!
That's a bargain & a half!
I can't imagine what a Canadian stamp with a printing of just 30,000 would cost!

Yes, those colony souvenir sheets are surprisingly inexpensive, and very beautiful. Finding a bunch of them mint fresh in the collection inherited from my grandfather is actually what got me interested in collecting French Africa.

My 2018 Gibbons prices it as 30UKL for used and 10UKL for a mint copy. These sheets are still quite easy to find unused.Postally used copies are much harder to find.

1939 150th Anniversary of the French Revolution. Another omnibus series.A set of 5 stamps issued by 24 colonies,with a surcharge to help the defence of each colony.Issued on July 5,1939 and wihdrawn from sale on December16,1939.A total of 15,000 sets was issued by each colony.Postally used stamps are hard to find,probably due to the high surcharge. These are probably favour cancellations. ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2021/01/24/80f2dc735482bc75750b637981e2576c.jpg)

Where do I find Togo as it only goes up to 1916 in the Stanley gibbons bible. is there anywhere I can find them in another book For Gibbons, the volume of Stamps of The World with the T countries would have the basic listing for the French Mandate and independent areas. Gibbons French Colonies regional catalogue would have the French Mandate up to 1960. Gibbons last published its INdependent Africa regional catalogues back I think in the 1990s but that is where independent Togo would be in the Gibbons world for more specialized coverage.
