Found this guy in a recent auction lot. I dipped it in watermark fluid and it had a 5, I let it dry before scanning then looked it up in my Scott's only to realise that there are a bunch of 5 water marks. I going to re-dip and scan and try using some software to upload the image.

Here is an example page from Mom's W/W collection.As you see her simple method is easy to follow twenty numbers per page and presto a collection.This one notebook contains Chad and Chile.Her collection extends to over 125 different notebooks.If a stamp catalogs for $1 or more it rates showgard other wise it is hinged in place.A collection that must be seen in it's entirety to be appreciated.

stainlessb , you posted the above earlier when I was working on Thailand and it reminded me that I have been toying with the idea of moving on to Chile for my next stamp project. Below are two pages from an old album purchase, plastered with stamps from Chile...I am really itching to dig into this but am torn about what pages I want to use.

My debate is whether I want to use Steiner pages or print the pages from this website posted earlier this year by coastwatcher....http://thestampforum.boards.net/post/77565 I am not overly fond of pre-printed pictures of the stamps, even if they are black and white, on my pages, so I will probably go with Steiner.

Chile is not a country i've contemplated much, but i do have quite a bit of earlier South American stamps... but I'm not quite ready to go there- Great Britain, France and Belgium may very well cary me through the end of the year and into 2020! I have a lot of material to study!

An early international air mail; Swiss stamps, Chilean destination. Looks like someone was sending a Christmas letter home to papa in Chile, a little late. By train from Davos, air mail from Geneva to Marseilles; there was no scheduled trans-Atlantic air mail then, except Zeppelins to Rio. So if I have this right, they paid a lot--CHF 4.20 or almost a dollar, then--mostly for a small leg of the journey. I assume the sender felt guilty. By ships the rest of the way, probably with transfers somewhere on the North American East Coast, in Panama and Santiago, but that's me guessing again. Still, eleven days was good time, for the technology of the era.

So as I am diving into my Chile accumulation, pulling from the collection I bought and cataloging and mounting stamps, I thought I would talk about the interesting odds and ends I find as I do this. For me, going through old collections in an album or a bunch of pages pulled from an album and sold separately is my favorite way of buying stamps and I love going through the pages after buying them. Sometimes you find some not so common tidbits. Chile, Scott no. 29 is part of a series of roulette stamps issued from 1878 to 1899 featuring Christopher Columbus. The 10c orange stamp of the series is below and I also have two copies of 29a, the yellow variety which catalogs at a higher value. One I already had and the other was in the collection I bought. Here is the Steiner page where I have everything mounted. Yup...I am missing quite a few. I guess I will have to go the next stamp bourse in March! I mounted the 10c yellow adjacent to the 1c and 2c on the right.

This one I noticed today. I haven't mounted these stamps yet and I only have half the values of the set. The high values are quite pricey. This is Scott 86 from the Independence Centenary Issue of 1910. This is the 5c value in deep blue with black engraved center. Both of these stamps came from the collection I bought. The one on the left below was mounted in the correct pre-printed space for the album page, the one on the right was mounted later with a mixed group of Chilean stamps in a catch-all blank area of a page that included Chinese stamps. Apparently it was added to the collection later...something the collector kept because it was unusual even though it duplicated the other stamp. Note the huge shift to the right of the black vignette of the stamp on the right. Apparently printing issues were common with this series. This page from chilecollector.com shows the huge number of freaks, oddities and errors with this series. It is pretty interesting to scroll through this page. Chile Collector, Independence Centenary

Thanks for the link darkormex! The Chile Collector website is a treasure trove of information not just for the Chilean stamps, but I also found the Antarctic postmarks very useful given my own interests and the DIY pages of John A. Schleich Jr.'s collection of Chilean classics is phenomenal. It would be a shame to see such a collection broken up, but at least it has been preserved posthumously for now...
Happy collecting!

stanley64, I can't take credit for originally posting this link as it was one of our other members (I can't remember who) that posted it but I appreciate the excruciating amount of detail and data they have on this website. I love websites like chilecollector.com and romaniastamps.com where you can tell that the creation of the website is a labor of love on the part of the collectors who put it together...and all free!

Here are the Chilean stamps which came in the cover from Mexico I received today, which I talk about here.
While I have specifically focused on all those wonderful airmails from the 40s, 50s and 60s, this lot contained a lot of stamps from the same time frame that were not necessarily airmails. I am really happy with the purchase. It was cheap and the stamps are in very good condition.

Chile SC 254,255 C124 Claudio Gay Claudio Gay was a French botanist and illustrator who did a lot of the early research into the flora and fauna of Chile. In 1948,Chile issued a compound set of three se-tenant blocks of 25 stamps honouring the centennial of the publication of Gay,s Natural History of Chile. The blocks were issued in three colours and values....60c in blue, 2.60p in green and 3p in red. There is no information as to how many sets were issued.Scott lists the 3 blocks at 190.00 for mint and unhinged copies. Used copies of the 3p red stamp are harder to find.

I would be glad if a member with experience in identifying the first stamps issued, appeared. I tried 5 years ago (when I first became interested in stamps and philately) to identify them but quickly gave up because of the wide variety of colours. Reading the thread I came back to them. On some of them the watermark is easily visible (for the others I got watermark fluid) I have learned over the years how to differentiate an engraved print from a litho print (although some stamps I think are "Santiago Prints-Impression Worn and Blurred" hard to differentiate from the previous Litho print. I saw on the internet (forgot the address) a block of 10c stamps that was traced with diagonal and vertical lines for later cutting and using the half as 5c. This method of pretracing was used at a time period when 5c stamps were hard to find. (it says in the forgotten website) In Scott there are numbers for these half stamps for all issues and I suspect that they were cut when needed without pretracing. If an experienced member has come forward to consult with, I would resume this attempt at identification. I hope to get some good news George

coming back to anglobob's post showing the Chilean ultramarine 25 stamp se-tenant 60 c. block of 25 stamps of flora and fauna - SG 381 a - y I think - I discovered a similar mint block in a recent mixed purchase - they're interesting and at a quick glance I assumed they were cinderellas - how wrong can you be. But, the point of this waffle is just to say that in my oldish SG catalogue, the red is described as 'carmine', and I just wanted to add to anglobob's interesting notes that - although I don't fully understand the catalogue entry - there was a 'CORREO AERO' set included, and stamps are inscribed accordingly. Needless to say the carmine are the most desirable from the point of view of shekels, and as usual I seem to have the least valuable block.

I'm a newer member and just noticed this thread. Besides U.S. stamps, I've spent a considerable amount of time with Chile. The first issues have seemed so fraught with forgeries that I tended to stay away. I did download a couple of intense documents, ( I believe from the ChileCollector.com) Analysis of the First Issues of Chile and First Issues. They're PDF's I'm happy to share. My later focus on my collection has been upgrading to mint where I might find opportunities. I do love collecting Columbus issues (now all of Latin America) and the Discovery of America. Anyone have any thoughts on where to obtain missing pricier issues? Thank you darkormex for all of your great posts. You all are so talented with your communications. Here's page 2 of my Steiner album...

paulc very nice quality, clean classics! Lovely! If you ever see something like these stamps pictured below (which are very similar to the 1911 portrait of Valdivia), you’re not looking at a Chile stamp but a “Valdivia Specimen”. These were printed in 1922, predating the first Irish Republic issues, when several ideas were proposed for stamps for an independent Ireland. Hibernian describes them as “not so much essays as specimens of printing.” There are 10 known colors all the same 2c design. I do not own one, but here’s a few screenshots from a Feldman auction. You can see how some of the Chilean design was incorporated into the ubiquitous 2p Green map of Ireland;

The stamps from Chile I like to collect have to do with the Antarctic, Founding of the country. I have a feeling Chile is not exactly at the top of many American collectors want lists. But they do have some nice-looking stuff. Nick
