26 imageBATUM BRIT OCC 1919 14 chocolate (UNUSED), SG4Batum British Occupation 1919 (4 Apr) 1r chocolate 'Aloe Tree', block of 8 (4x2) showing the four transfer types DCDC/BABA, SG4. Fine quality, unmounted mint, block of 8 with full original gum. Typical light gum creasing, which is immaterial to overall quality of piece. A scarce multiple and very difficult to find in this quality. Batumi (formerly Batum) is a city on the Black Sea coast and capital of Adjara, an autonomous republic in southwest Georgia. The city was under Russian rule at the beginning of World War I, but local unrest led to Turkey entering the city in April 1918, followed by the British in December, who stayed until July 1920. During the British occupation, the stock of postage stamps started to run out, and so in February 1919 the administration produced its own stamps. These were imperforate, depicted an aloe tree and were inscribed ????????? ????? (BATUMSKAYA POCHTA), or "Batum Post." The British later overprinted these with "BRITISH OCCUPATION", and surcharged the remaining Russian stamps in a variety of styles. Inflation also took hold, and by 1920, the tree stamps, which had been as little as 5 kopecks, had to be reprinted in denominations up to 50 rubles. (Image)

A very fine and fresh unmounted mint example with full original gum. Faint corner bend mentioned for accuracy only as still very fine. Only 1,000 were issued in this colour with the blue surcharge, and unmounted mint examples are hardly ever seen. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £95 (for lightly mounted examples).

Very fine unmounted mint with full original gum, (characteristic slightly patchy gum). Odd minor tone marks, mostly apparent on upper right stamp, still a fine multiple. The left frame line shows 'doubling' mimicking the effect of a re-entry, particularly at R1/1. Such was the success and popularity of the famous Seahorses stamp issue in Great Britain that it was overprinted and used in other countries in the British Empire including Morocco, Offices in the Turkish Empire, Bechuanaland and Ireland. The stamp is considered a miniature piece of propaganda in response to the German threat posed to Britain at sea on the eve of World War I. The Seahorses boldly claimed Britain’s naval domination and reputation of being "ruler of the seas". A rare and spectacular multiple. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £1,800+. (Image)
