when was afrikaans first used on the cape of good hope 4pence triangle stamp milky blue in colour.?
Q. I also have the same stamp four pence in english, not afrikaans.
Asked by gillian s - Mon Nov 10 18:30:33 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. What you have is not a Cape of Good Hope stamp, but an early issue of South Africa, which was formed May 31, 1910 from the British colonies of Natal, Transvaal, Orange Free State, and of course, Cape of Good Hope. Your stamps were issued in 1926. One was printed in English, the other in Afrikaans, each on separate sheets. The English version is Scott catalog 21 and the Afrikaans is number 22. They each catalog 2 dollars unused and 1.40 in used condition.
