The stamps of Transkai: part 1

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Beautiful Transkey collection - thanks for sharing Jerry! I collect world but also plants and animals so enjoy the many wonderful stamps that fit both collections. Hagner stock sheets are my favorite - I can't always afford them but have enjoyed getting them gently used in box lots over the years.

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed them. Hagner stock sheets are good, about £8 for 10 here in the UK, so it's not too bad.

Wonderful and almost complete collection of Transkei stamps! Wow! And you got it at such a good price! The stamps are also very neatly ordered and displayed. I really like your collection! I can give a bit of information because I am familiar with southern Africa. 5:04 images of the rituals of young Xhosa men transitioning from boyhood to manhood (initiation rituals); 7:03 Encephalartos species are cycads native to Africa. They are some of the most primitive gymnosperm plants. All of them are endangered. 17:09 aloes; :) :) :) 18:50 those spiders are pretty realistic :) I can think if you don't like spiders they will touch a cord :); 20:47 animals - top left to right - blackfooted cat (one of the African wild cats), small antelope found in southern Africa ("blue duiker"), small antelope ("oribi"), African wild dog (also known as painted dog). I love these stamps. Thanks for showing us this beautiful collection, Jerry!!! Looking forward to part II! (The few Transkei stamps I showed were part of the very special stamp gift from Steve Ogier in Australia).

I am in Indiana USA. I always like stamps showing houses and aspects of daily life in other places. I am curious about how other people live.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I like learning about tribes and how they live, very interesting.
