Item Description

This listing is for a single, postally used definitive stamp issued for use in the German East Africa colony in 1908.

The stamp is listed in Scott as #34, and has a face value of 15 heller, and paid the basic letter rate for items sent within the Universal Postal Union. Printed on paper watermarked with diamond lozenges (Scott Watermark #125, Michel Wz 1), this stamp shows the Kaiser's Yacht "Hohenzollern" as is the case with all German colonial definitives of this period.

This stamp was cancelled at the Kissenji post office, which was open from December 1911 to September 1914. This cancel has a catalogue value of EUR 100 in part due to the short period the post office was open. Kissenji was and remains a border town on the western edge of the former GEA. Located in what eventually became the Republic of Rwanda, Kissenji sits on the Rwanda/D.R. Congo border and is now known as "Gisenyi".
