The stamp you had a question about at 1:55 is Scott #32. Type A3 and A6 stamps of Cape of Good Hope have 3 different watermark varieties, along with or without frame line. Something to look out for on these stamps. A geography teacher in school once told us a way to know how to pronounce “Bechuanaland”. Imagine being in an airplane and upon seeing that you are getting low on fuel you tell the pilot,” Betcha u wanna land”. Say that fast and you have pronounced “Bechuanaland”. Also, don’t worry about the flag, it is not distracting.
Great collection, I love South Africa and their provincial stamps, I have a fairly decent collection. I'm from the UK, but lived in South Africa 1982-84 as a teenager.
What a great collection. I love the Revenue stamp overprinted Consular. Basutoland is now Lesotho. Bechuanaland Protectorate is now Botswana not to be confused with British Bechuanaland which also issued stamps but was later incorporated into the Cape of Good Hope.
Nice collection and nice video. The stamp @ 1:55 used to be MiNr. 21 II from 1880. There are two different overprints with a thin and a wide '3', where your stamp seems to be the wide one. Value is about 3,- € used / 100,- € **. But i've got no idea, why they overprint a 'Three' with a '3' .
