I recently added the King George VI North Borneo stamps to my website. Here are the links to the various pages. The first Japanese overprint set is missing. If someone has it and is willing to scan it for me, I can add it to the group.

  Most of the top lot have those Black Bar remainder cancellations. These are from the redrawn 1888-92 issues. I don't trust the Imperfs but am putting them here for comparison. Londonbus1 |

I may be in the wrong place with this Malaysian States Sabah Opt. (from 1964 - 65) on North Borneo Arms - SG 423 Carmine and blue - so apologies if it needs moving elsewhere - the reason for showing was that this is a nice example and came out of some charity shop stamps that cost just a pound or two - and always satisfying to get a bargain - probably worth about £20, hopefully - used appears to have a noticeably higher value than mint - according to SG. Quite what the M5 part of the cancellation means I don't yet know - perhaps someone is able to help with that. For the ovptd. stamps - SG 423 - the catalogue reads ............ "Old stocks bearing Waterlow imprints of the 4c., 5c., 20c., and 35c. to $10 were used for overprinting, but in addition new printings of all values by De La Rue using the original plates with the De La Rue imprint replacing the Waterlow imprint were specially made for overprinting" I'm unsure of the meaning of the word 'imprint' in this context - presumably nothing to do with wmks. ........... aside from the different imprints, maybe in other respect the two printers stamps cannot be differentiated? Perhaps 'imprints' appear only on margins/selvedges of full sheets? Going back to the original North Borneo $10 value - SG 406 - the catalogue indicates the wmk. to be 'W w 12'. This we assume takes us back to the section on wmks. in the catalogue, and 'w 12' is shown as ... 'Multiple St. Edward's Crown Block CA' - see attached picture. The text reads .............. "The multiple St. Edward's Crown Block CA watermark, w 12, was introduced in 1957 and besides the change in the Crown (from that used in Multiple Crown Script CA, w 9) the letters reverted back to block capitals." My lighter fluid does suggest this stamp agrees with catalogue wmk. description. Apologies this is a slightly overlong description, and apologies if this ovpt. has been shown previously - would be interested to hear of an explanation of the 'imprint' matter. thanks.   |

paul1, printer's imprint where sometimes added to the bottom of the stamp or the bottom of the sheet in the selvedge. In this case they are referring to the bottom of the sheet as this superb block on Ebay indicates:

Interesting for the flyspecker ………it looks like HM has a cold! Certainly a “runny nose” maybe even some dribbles on her chin. can’t be intentional….but I think I see similar on a couple on the block illustrated by michael. |

michael - thanks and at first I thought you were offering me this lovely block - so you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered you weren't;-);-) Agree, I too had come to the conclusion that 'imprints' are not on the stamp but rather they appear on the selvedge, so we would need some form of margin group of stamps - as you've shown - in order to see an imprint. That is great looking block - thanks for posting.

vikingeck - unfortunately, I now think this effect, which has the appearance of some kind of flaw, was in fact either the fault of the camera operator or a trick of the light - I've taken a couple more and the dribbles seem to have disappeared - looking at the stamp in the flesh seems not to show these pale lines, but I certainly hadn't seen this effect when posting originally.

It is interesting to see so many North Borneo stamps. I have a number of them, but have never realized that there are so many stamps from North Borneo. thanks for sharing.

Another page from the "Japanese Occupation Stamps" approval booklet that I found among my dad's extensive philatelic materials. There are 133 of these booklets filled with a variety of combinations of worldwide stamps, and a great deal of other material; my dad was a dealer as well as a collector. It all went into storage when he died in 1957 and I am now inventorying, organizing, and selling, donating, and keeping. Yesterday I added a page from the booklet to the Brunei thread. The first 7 stamps on this page are Japanese overprints of Scott North Borneo #193-199, issued in 1939. The overprinted stamps (Scott N16-N22) were issued in 1944. Total current value of the 7 stamps (based on Scott digital catalogue) is $72.00. The three Straights Settlements overprints are Scott N7 and N20, issued in 1942, and N27 issued in 1943. The overprinted (in red ink) orange 2c Scott N7, which my dad priced (in the mid-1950s) at 50 cents, has a CV of $3.50. I will try to sell this booklet as a single lot, given that the stamps have something in common. Most of the booklets appear to offer variety without any particular theme.  |
