Item Description

This listing is for a single, mint hinged definitive stamps issued for use in the colony of German East Africa (Deutsch Ostafrika) in 1900, and shows the standard image used on colonial German stamps in the early 20th century, namely the Kaiser’s Yacht “Hohenzollern.”

The stamp is listed in Scott as #11, and has a face value of 3 pesa. CV$2.75 This one has disturbed gum across the top edge on the reverse from where a hinge was removed. It does not appear to actually be a thin.

German East Africa was a colony of Germany until Germany lost all her colonies as part of the peace settlement that ended World War I. Britain took over the majority of the colony, which would become known as Tanganyika (now the mainland portion of Tanzania). Belgium took over what would later become Rwanda and Burundi, and Portugal also incorporated a small piece of the former DOA into Mozambique.
