Basutoland

1938 Scott 20 1 1/2p light blue George VI "Crocodile and River Scene"

Quick History
Located in southeastern Africa, the Cape Colony annexed Basutoland in 1871. The Cape of Good Hope issues were used from 1871-1910. Meanwhile, the British Crown took control of Basutoland in 1883 when the Cape Colony could not control the territory. The Union of South Africa then issued stamps from 1910 to 1933. Finally, Basutoland  had their own stamp issues beginning in 1933. The Capital is Meresu, and the population was 650,000 in the 1940's. Presently the country, after independence in 1966, is called the Kingdom of Lesotho.

Big Blue Picture
On one page, Big Blue(1969) has 20 designated spaces and one blank space for a total of  21 stamp spaces.
The 2011 Scott Classic Specialized catalogue has 34 major stamp descriptions.
Coverage by Big Blue (1969) is 62%.

Not a lot of additional stamps to consider ( except to pick up the "other" checklist choice -Scott 6 or 7), but the Postage Dues of 1933-38 could be added.
Scott J1,J2 ($2-<$1)
This issue was apparently dropped from the 1969 edition, but was present in Big Blue before. I'll check the "Kinds of Blue" to verify

Big Blue Bottom Line
Did you know that Basutoland is now the Kingdom of Lesotho?  I didn't.
