Item Description

The item in this listing is a single used postage stamp issued for use in the German crown colony of Kamerun in 1897. This stamp is postally used, and is listed in Scott as #1, and has a face value of 3 pfennig.

The cancel on this stamp was applied at the Kribi post office on 28 February 1900. This is very nice example of the cancel.

Please note: the stamp has a thin that is noticeable from the back, but not visible from the front.

Following its' takeover during the First World War, Kamerun was partitioned into French and British zones of occupation. The majority of Kamerun became part of the new French colonial mandate of Cameroun, or else incorporated into French Equitorial Africa. The British zone was maintained as a separate mandate, the northern part of which was eventually attached to Nigeria and gained independence as part of that country. Southern Cameroons and the French Cameroun mandate gained independence as the modern nation of Cameroon in 1961.
