2529   ImageFRENCH CONGO, 1891, 5c on 1c Black on Lilac Blue, Red Surcharge (1; Yvert 1A). Particularly well-centered for this issue, bold color, light circular datestamp

VERY FINE AND RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1891 5-CENTIMES ON ONE-CENTIME WITH RED SURCHARGE.

The first stamps of French Congo were made by surcharging French Colonies stamps. It was decided to surcharge 3,000 1c stamps with a 5c overprint. The first sheet was surcharged in red, but the impression was determined to be unsatisfactory. The remaining 2,900 stamps were overprinted in black, creating Scott No. 2.

Signed A. Brun and Calves. Yvert €6,000 (Image)

FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENTIMES ON 20-CENTIMES PROVISIONAL SURCHARGE. ONE OF THE RAREST STAMPS OF FRENCH AFRICA.

This stamp was a provisional used in Brazzaville for only four days, July 9-12, 1900 due to a shortage of 5c stamps. Three-hundred 20c stamps were surcharged 5c and given to the postmaster. The unused stamps were not available for purchase, as they were applied on envelopes by the postmaster. A small number were used in the four days, and then a new supply of the regular 5c stamps arrived. After July 12, the remaining 5c provisionals were burned.
