WORLDWIDE STAMPS AND POSTAL HISTORY continued...

Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate

IX-2) datestamp addressed to England, "Wadi-Halfa/Challal/20 FEB 07 T5" (Smith Ty. 8) T.P.O. boat cancellation, card with slight corner crease effecting stamp, fine; a difficult to find T.P.O. cancel. (Image) Est. $150-200

1722 P   Image1895 Unissued proof of the Winter Festivals Foundation, Cairo, die proof on glossy card for the 1pi of the frame only, typographed in black by Thomas de la Rue, measures 92x60mm with "30 SEP 95" inverted datestamp at bottom right, extremely fine condition for such a scarce item; ex-De La Rue Archives.

To this day, it is still unsure as to why these stamps were not issued. Thomas de la Rue had printed 100,000 sets which were later destroyed. Any items from this issue on the market are from the small quantity they kept in their archives, including this proof, which were eventually sold at auction in London. (Image)

1723 P 50-59P Image#50-59P, 1914 1m-200m Proofs, imperforate, complete set on watermarked and gummed paper, each affixed at the top left corner to a card tied by indistinguishable Alexandria c.d.s. cancel, very fine; we are unsure as to why these are affixed to the card; watermarked proofs are noticeably scarcer than those that are unwatermarked (Nile Post #D53d, D54c, D55d, D56c, D57f, D58e, D59b, D60b, D61a, D62a). (Image) Est. $200-300

1724 Pbl 54P Image#54P, 1914 5m Proof, imperforate on watermarked and gummed paper in a pane of 100, two control number "1" at bottom left and right, pane with creasing, one of which is heavy and runs vertically along right row, some edge tears along the sides, o.g., fine; the Nile Post does not list this incredibly rare control "1" pane (Nile Post #N57f).

The 1m-10m values of the 1914 Pictorial Issue were printed in sheets of 200 stamps, consisting of two panes of 100 stamps. According to the Smith book, in a letter dated January 5th, 1918, from the Acting Postmaster General A. Goldstein, he ordered "four sheets of each of the ordinary Egyptian postal values in current use...bearing the usual watermark and no perforation." It is unsure what they were for or how they entered the philatelic market. Regardless, only eight panes could exist. This could possibly be the last full pane known as many were cut down. (Image)
