1912/1945: African Civilian & Military Censorship Mail - Extensive Multi-Country Collection. A significant and long-formed collection of African civilian and military censored mail, housed in large boxes and accumulated over many
decades. Part of the collection is attractively mounted on exhibition display pages, with detailed write-up outlining usages, scarcity, and recorded EKU/LKU (earliest and latest known usages). A substantial additional quantity
remains in folders and on loose album pages, awaiting full sorting and study. The collection includes inward and outward mail to and from : Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Togo, Cameroon, Congo and other territories. Correspondence
is represented from a wide range of international destinations, illustrating global wartime postal routes and censorship practices. Many items retain original auction envelopes from earlier purchases, reflecting the careful and sustained development of the holding. Noted are rare and more unusual examples throughout. Condition is mixed in places, as to be expected in a large and diverse censorship collection, though many items are fine to very fine for this
topic. An ideal lot for further specialised development, research, or for systematic breakdown and discovery.
