British East Africa # 14/103

Victorian-era eye candy from this East African territory before it merged with Uganda and before it became known as Kenya. A quick glance shows that there are different shades and printings to be found here, as well as some potential for interesting cancels. A combination of mint and used (with duplication). The four highest value stamps all have issues including #49, which has a tear in the upper right corner (we haven’t counted this stamp at all), #86 might be a revenue cancel (Cat $85.) and the two larger QV issues, while appearing to be postally used have faults that are more apparent from the back than the front (cat $200.00, so left in the lot). Still lots to work with here in the sound material. 2023 Scott US$648.05 =
