Worldwide, "Cancelled Abroad" Postal History Collection, 1848-1949, A very unique and fascinating collection of over 250 stamps and about a dozen covers devoted to stamps cancelled outside their country of origin. Many of these stamps are listed in the Scott Classic under Forerunners in their respective sections, and not only is this a gold mine for the postal historian, but these stamps are a perfect addition for anyone considering widening the scope of their collection. The first half-dozen pages showcase the use of British stamps throughout the world, stamps such as #27-28, 52-55, 57 (4), 69-70, 85, etc., many of which catalog at many hundreds. We have Valparaiso, Chile (A93), Larnaca, Cyprus (A19), St. Thomas, D.W.I. (A10 & A29), Port-au-Prince, Haiti (A55), Callao, Peru (A45, A51, A57, A62-A63), Constantinople (A84-A85, A100, A113, A121-A122), Malta (A21-A22, A84). There are also many examples of stamps used in countries by the colonial powers before they issued their own stamps, such as Great Britain cancelled in Gibraltar, Germany in Cameroun, or the stamps of India used in Zanzibar. For those with Post Offices abroad, there's Japan cancelled in China, U.S. in Shanghai, France in Crete and numerous examples of Greek stamps used in Turkey. Also, ship cancels, forwarded mail, diplomatic pouch delivery, etc. Take a look at this intriguing collection which is entirely viewable online, overall Fine to Very Fine.
