The stamps of Kenya, Uganda & Tanganyika

[@Republic4ever714]

Thanks for great video! Love Stamps from Africa and the BWI!

[@GreatStampAdventure]

I enjoyed this great video very much! Thank you Pete. The stamps are absolutely beautiful!!! Somehow it feels to me as if they really portray Africa and Africa's nature very well. It was also interesting to hear how you started to get into stamp collecting! 🙂

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for your comments. You are so right about the stamps

[@jeffnewbery7376]

Very interesting and enjoyable.

Thanks so much for this. I began collecting stamps because of these stamps as I was fascinated by the 2 crowned cranes design. I still think they are beautiful works of art and still adding to my collection. Will be enjoying the link to find out more.

Great video. The KUT stamps are a subject that I wanted to explore more on. Thank you.

I was in the Royal Navy in the sixties, and rather weirdly my first foreign port of call was Mombasa, HMS Eagle, December 1964. So, Christmas and New Year in Mombasa. I well remember the tusks (of course), and walked under them on frequent occasions. The local bottled beer was called "Tusker", absolutely delicious- very hoppy. Next stop, Singapore...

My dad was on Ark Royal 1961. I'm sure he would have tried the beer too.

Great introduction to the stamps of this area. I was born in Kenya, so grew up with these stamps and they still have a special place in my heart and in my collection. Just one small thing - the g in Tanganyika is a hard g (as in goose) rather than a soft g (as in gem).

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks, I always wondered how to pronounce that properly.

[@piratephilately]

@ourdadstamps @stephenogier7499 Wow! A topic near and dear to my heart as well. My comments are almost word for word the same as yours. I am second generation born and raised in Kenya too. Once I saw the tusks, I knew we were in for a treat. Ditto on the pronounciation. Thank you for covering this topic... busy looking for a 100 pound gem ;)

[@Republic4ever714]

Always wanted to go there but these days afraid to travel anywhere!😢

[@ourdadsstamps]

I've never been either, but would love to go one day.

[@gmanlvd2011]

Beautiful stamps!

[@keithsturmey2528]

Excellent, it brought back some good memories as a child in the early 1960's receiving postcards and letters from our Uncle who lived in Kenya (he was an entomologist!!) and he also brought some sets back to us. Many had some "strange" animals on them. I will have to look through them again, great video as ever.

[@ourdadsstamps]

Many thanks for taking the time to comment. Looking at the postcard from Kenya certainly brought back happy memories of my childhood. Glad you like the videos.

[@GrampsStamps]

I love a new introduction to a country(ies) through a collector's eyes and experiences. You hooked me as a subscriber!

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for your comments, and glad you liked the stamps.

[@cb01ttr]

The £100 stamp was clearly for posting Elephants!

[@ourdadsstamps]

😅

[@mikeringquist4797]

Hello. I can't find the link to the George VI website that you mentioned in the video. Maybe you forgot to add it. Enjoyed the video.

[@ourdadsstamps]

You are absolutely right, I forgot to add it. It's there now. 🤦‍♂️

Hi pete when you anychance can you do some more content on Victorian line engraved and surface printed . I've got a big album with lots of Victorian stamps in front early with Maltese cross to later issues . I'm struggling to gauge prices or understand how to start working through the collection. I'm a coin man and dont do stamps but have had these given in with my latest deal . Could the 100 stamp be used for companies for delivery of good precious. Metals or food stock ?

[@ourdadsstamps]

My favourite area of stamp collecting but also a huge task. There is so much to look out for. The Stanley Gibbon's specialist victorian catalogue is a great starting point.

[@sam7687-i9b]

Thanks pete

[@johnwmartin6218]

What, no giraffes?

[@ourdadsstamps]

There is one, at the beginning. 😃

[@Mrdoubtfire23]

[@ourdadsstamps]
