Rio de Oro

1907 Scott 21 4c red "King Alfonso XIII"

Quick History
Rio de Oro, geographically along the Atlantic ocean in the southern portion of Spanish (Western) Sahara in northwest Africa, became a Spanish protectorate in 1884 (Berlin Conference).

Rio de Oro

The capital was Villa Cisnernos, and the population was reported to be 24,000.

The reality is there is no gold there (despite the name), and the landscape is bleak indeed, with essentially no precipitation, although fog is found along the coast.

The small port town of Villa Cisnernos (now Al-Dakhla) had to import drinking water.

Rio de Oro became part of Spanish (Western) Sahara in 1924

Between 1901-04, Spanish stamps were cancelled "Rio de Oro". Major colonial stamp issues for Rio de Oro proper were released in 1905, 1909, 1919, 1920, and 1922: all with the visage of King Alfonso XIII. Surcharged or overprinted issues can be found for 1907, 1908, 1910, 1911-13, and 1917. I suspect, of the total 149 stamps issued, very few were actually genuinely used.

The landscape of Rio de Oro

Rio de Oro became part of Spanish (Western) Sahara, along with Saguia el-Hamra, in 1924.

Spain actually held on to the territory until 1975, when it was then split between Morocco and Mauritania influence. Eventually, Morocco assumed administrative control of most of the territory.

The dispute continues. The United Nations considers the lands to be a "non self-governing territory", and has urged a referendum on independence for the Sahrawi population.

1908 Scott 39 15c on 25c deep green

Issue surcharged in Red, Violet, or Green

(Color here should be red, but looks maroon to me)

Into the Deep Blue
The 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue has, for Rio de Oro 1905-1922, 149 major numbers. Of those, 69 are CV <$1-$1+, or 46%. Raising the bar to CV $3+ adds 27 more stamps for a total of 96 or 64%. Clearly, Rio de Oro has many inexpensive stamps. And, of interest, Scott values unused higher than used for all stamps, although I suspect genuine used are actually not that common.

As I have found for a number of other Spanish colonies, WW collections, at least in North America, tend to not have many stamps from Rio de Oro. Unpopularity, unavailability, or "Out of sight, out of mind"? I suspect all are factors. If one wishes more "Rio de Oro" stamps, despite their cheap CV prices, one will need to hunt for them.

A closer look at the stamps and issues
100 Centimos = 1 Peseta

1907 1c claret "King Alfonso XIII"

In 1905, a 16 stamp Spanish colonial issue, and in 1907, another 16 Spanish colonial stamp issue (illustrated above) was produced with the visage of King Alfonso XIII. (Actually, all the stamps for Rio de Oro have an Alfonso XIII portrait.)

I notice the issues are identical in denomination and general design with the same issued stamps of 1905 and 1907 Spanish colonial Fernando Po, except for a change in color.

Thirteen of the 1907 Rio de Oro issued stamps are CV $2+.

1908 Scott 38 10c on 50c black violet

Handstamp Surcharge in Red

Two stamps in 1907, and again in 1908, were handstamped surcharged as shown.

1908 Scott 41 15c on 1p orange

"Surcharged in Violet"

(Color looks blue to me)

Also, five stamps were handstamped surcharged in 1908 as above in red, violet or green.

These handstamped surcharged stamps all have a higher CV ($20+-$40+ unused) than the 1907 original stamps (CV $9-$16 unused). And my examples don't quite have the right handstamp color listed in Scott. Although my examples may be genuine, the specimens would be easy to create with a fake handstamp.

And that brings up a general caution about overprinted/surcharged stamps, most especially handstamped ones...

It is quite difficult as a WW generalist to develop the expertise to tell genuine from fake overprinted stamps. (Sure, one may be able to do it for a certain country, but then there is the next country, and the next country....get the point? ;-)

Caveat Emptor

For myself, I don't mind picking up a "representative" collection of overprinted stamps provided I didn't pay much for them. Yes, some could be fake, but many (most) are not worth getting certified because of the modest CV.

And some WW collectors have chosen to avoid overprinted/surcharged stamps entirely if the overprinted variety have a higher CV than the originals- there are plenty of non overprinted to collect.

Back of 1908 Scott 40 15c on 75c orange brown

Control Numbers in Blue

This might be a good time to remind ourselves that Spanish colonial stamps frequently have control numbers printed on the back. All of the Rio de Oro stamps are in this category.

1909 Scott 49 10c orange red

"Alfonso XIII"

The 1909 issue, shown here, had 13 stamps, and a CV of <$1 for 10 stamps. The same design was used for Spanish Guinea in 1909, and probably reflects the landscape there more than arid Rio de Oro.

1912 Scott 82 4p claret "Alfonso XIII"

The 1912 issue had 13 stamps, and has a general design, seen also with Spanish Guinea. Remarkably, 11 stamps are close to minimum CV.

1914 Scott 90 25c dark blue "Alfonso XIII"

The 1914 issue has 13 stamps with a CV of <$1 for 10 stamps. Not that common in WW collections, though.

1919 Scott 121 30c green "Alfonso XIII"

A 13 stamps issue was released in 1919 with the above design, shared with other colonies. CV is <$1 for 10 stamps.

1922 Scott 147 30c deep rose "Alfonso XIII"

As Rio de Oro was nearing the end of autonomy as a separate stamp issuing colony, a 13 stamp issue was released in 1922 with "Western Sahara" included on the identification tablet. CV is <$1-$1+ for 11 stamps.

In 1924, the colony was absorbed into Spanish Western Sahara, and Rio de Oro's stamp production ceased.

Deep Blue

1922 Issue in Deep Blue

Deep Blue (Steiner) has seven pages for Rio de Oro, and has a space for all the major Scott numbers.

1909 Scott 51 20c dark violet

"King Alfonso XIII"

Big Blue

Big Blue '69, on three lines of one page (shared with Quelimane), has 24 spaces for Rio De Oro. Total coverage is only 16%.

All of the spaces in the BB album for Rio de Oro can be filled with CV <$1 stamps. But BB leaves out another 31 stamps which also have a CV of <$1. This might reflect the unpopularity- or perhaps unavailability- of the obscure Spanish colonies for Scott's (primarily) North American collectors.

The coverage in the 40s editions are the same.

But perhaps we should be grateful for any coverage at all. ;-)

Why?

Because the Index, or Table of Contents for Countries in the '69 BB ( and also my '92 BB edition) does NOT include a listing for Rio de Oro, although, as said, one will find the coverage on the same page as Quelimane.

Rhodesia (British South Africa Company)

1891 Scott 5 4p red brown & black "Coat of Arms"

Quick History
"Rhodesia", commonly called by the white settlers in the 1890s after Cecil Rhodes, the founder of the British South Africa Company (BSAC), were lands in southern Africa bisected by the Zambezi River. The Company, which governed and administered the lands by Royal Charter from 1889-1923, named the territory north of the Zambezi "Northern Rhodesia", and the lands south of the Zambezi "Southern Rhodesia".

1911 Encylopaedia Britannia Map of Rhodesia

The Zambezi River bisects the lands into

Northern Rhodesia (North Western & North Eastern) & Southern Rhodesia

The capital was Salisbury, and the population was 1,700,000 in 1921.

The stamps issued throughout 1890-1923 are all inscribed "British South Africa Company". Beginning in 1909, the stamps are also either overprinted or inscribed "Rhodesia".

Cecil Rhodes as Colossus striding Africa from Cairo to the Cape

The BSAC were expecting that the gold fields of Mashonaland would provide the investor return, but that didn't pan out (pun intended ;-). But the BSAC did build railroads ( Beira, Mashonaland, Rhodesia lines), and actually retained mineral rights until 1964 in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia).

In 1923, the BSAC no longer administered the territories, and Southern Rhodesia (1924-1964) became a crown colony. (To confuse things, it was known as "Rhodesia" from 1965-1979.) With independence in 1980, it became Zimbabwe.

Northern Rhodesia became a British Protectorate from 1924-1964. With independence in 1964, the name was changed to Zambia.

(My blog post for Northern Rhodesia has more maps and explanation of these turbulent times. )

1896 Scott 37 4sh red & blue/green "Coat of Arms"

Into the Deep Blue
The 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue has, for Rhodesia 1890-1923, 143 major descriptive numbers. Of those, 12 or 8% are CV <$1-$1+. Raising the bar to CV $4+ yields 44 or 31% coverage. Clearly, the CV for this British colony is a bit high, but a representative selection is available for a modest budget increase.

A closer look at the stamps and issues
12 Pence = 1 Shilling
20 Shillings = 1 Pound

1890 Scott 2 1p black "Coat of Arms"

Sporting the British South Africa Company Coat of Arms, with "commerce" as one of their tenets, The initial 1890-94 issue had 19 stamps, The eight higher denomination values (3sh - 10 pounds) have a CV of $50+-$800. But with a revenue cancellation, they are significantly cheaper ($1-$70+).

1896 Scott 30 4p blue & red lilac

(A4 design)

The 1896 engraved issue (denomination portion is typographed) has 14 major descriptive numbers, and has the above illustrated "A4" design. CV ranges from <$1-$10+ for 11 stamps.

Notice the nice CTO cancellation? Scott has a note that all issues from 1897-1910 were available as remainders. (Actually, I believe the remainders were available with the 1896 issue, as most of my examples definitely have CTO cancellations.)

1896 Scott 27a 1p scarlet & emerald

A4 Design: Die I

The 1896 A4 design comes in two flavors: Die I and Die II. Die I has a dot to the right of the springbok supporter tail next to "M" of "COMPANY". And the body of the lion is only partially shaded.

1896 Scott 27 1p scarlet & emerald

A4 Design: Die II

Die II has no dot by the springbok tail, and the lion is fully shaded.

1897 Scott 53 3p red brown & gray brown

(A7 Design)

A nine stamp 1897 issue was produced with some changes in the design (A7). CV is <$1-$4+ for eight stamps.

1896 Scott 32 8p deep green & violet/buff (A4 design)

1897 Scott 56 8p deep green & violet/buff (A7 design)

What are the design differences between the 1896 and 1897 issue? The ends of the scrolls pass behind the one leg of each springbok supporter in the 1896 issue, while the ends of the scrolls are between the legs of the springboks in the 1897 issue. (Click and enlarge image if necessary.)

1908 Scott 71 10sh bluish green

The 1898-1908 engraved issue, again with the Coat of Arms design, has 19 major descriptive numbers. CV ranges from <$1- $3+ for 11 stamps.

This would prove to be the last issue with no "Rhodesia" overprint or inscription.

1909 Scott 89 6p lilac; 1909 Scott 70 7 1/2p on 2sh6p bluish gray

Stamps of 1898-1908 Overprinted or Surcharged

Although the BSAC officially adopted "Rhodesia" as the name of the territories in 1895, and the British government followed suit in 1898, "Rhodesia" did not appear on BSAC stamps until 1909.

The 1909 overprinted/surcharged issue had 20 stamp denominations, and the CV is <$1-$8+ for 12 stamps.

1910 Scott 108 6p claret & brown

"Queen Mary and King George"

The 1910 engraved 18 stamp "Queen Mary and King George" issue is found in various perforations (14, 15 X 14, 14 X 14, 15, 13 1/2) with Scott major and minor numbers.

The issue is also rather expensive, with seven stamps having a CV of $100-$600+. On the modest end, seven stamps are CV $2-$20+.

1913-23 Issue Scott 125 4p orange red & black

"King George V"

The 1913-23 "Admiral" issue, as it is known, has a portrait of King George. Four stamps were printed from single plates, while fifteen stamps were printed from double plates (bi-colored). CV ranges from $2+-$10+ for twelve stamps.

1917 Scott 121 1 1/2p bister brown; 1917 Scott 121g 1 1/2p drab brown

The issue has many minor number color variations, and one is illustrated here.

1917 Scott 120 b 1p bright rose & Scott 122a 2p gray & black, Die III

Be aware that the head and cap region can vary in appearance.Note the king's left ear is unshaded in the 1p bright rose, but has shading lines in the 2p gray and black. In fact, the double plate stamps (bi-colored) are found with Die I, Die II, and Die III variations. Scott has a note about this; but better, the Stanley Gibbons 1840-1970 Commonwealth & British Stamps catalogue has drawing illustrations of the differences.

Deep Blue

1896 Issue in Deep Blue

Deep Blue (Steiner) has seven pages for classic Rhodesia, and includes a space for all the major Scott numbers. If one wishes to parse out the 1896 "Coat of Arms" issue (shown above) or the 1913-19 "King George V" issue into minor number types, an extra quadrilled page or two may be required.

1898 Scott 66 1sh bister "Coat of Arms"

Big Blue

BB '69, on two pages, has 53 spaces. Coverage is 37%.

The 1910 "Queen Mary and King George" issue spaces yields two "Most Expensive" stamps @ $42+ and $37+. There are five more BB spaces with CV of $10+-$20+.

Out of the Blue

My goodness, I like these stamps! Maybe I should drop everything, and specialize in the African British colonial issues?.....

But then, I like Latin America, Europe, and Asia offerings, to name a few geographical stamp issuing areas. And the French colonials are attractive as well.

I guess it is WW classical era collecting for me. ;-)

Part 1B2 Checklist for Reunion - Zululand

Saar 1927 Scott 135 5fr deep brown "Burbach Steelworks"

One of the stamps in the Big Blue checklist

Reunion-Zululand Checklist

This particular checklist will be complete when Zululand is reached: In fact, we will have completed the entire checklist! (Edit update: Zululand has been reached, and the complete checklist IS done!) It includes not only all the countries found in Big Blue now, but those political entities/stamps that were dropped in the '69 edition.

The column down the left side of the blog has an alphabetical linked list of countries that have been published. This should facilitate finding a particular country post quickly, although the country posts are also linked in the Blog Archive section. Also, non-country general posts will remain in the Blog Archive section.

Here is the checklist for Aden-Ethiopia.

Here is the checklist for Falkland Islands-Latvia.

And here is the checklist for Lebanon-Quelimane.

If printed out, keep in mind the list is long. I've seen two column formats that work quite well. A three column format does squeeze the notes, but is do-able.

Remember, the checklist is included with each countries post. And comments, caveats and cautions about the checklist are fully discussed in the specific country blog.

Moreover, all the stamps in Big Blue with catalogue value $10+ are listed after the checklist in the country blog.

Now a reminder about the format and uses of the checklist.....

Note: You will need to consult a Scott catalogue for specific pricing. I only give a "rough" valuation, and rarely the actual catalogue value.

Note: Some Scott numbers appear out of sequence. That is because I usually follow the layout of the page.

Note: Blank spaces are sometimes limited by which stamp will fit. And a blank space choice is chosen based generally on next sequence stamp, or least expensive stamp. You are, of course, free to make your own choice for a blank space.

*2017 Update: The Ceres issue presented here below originally had the (now "old") numbers in the 2011 catalogue. By 2015, Scott had parsed the Ceres into 1914 Perf 15 X 14 chalky paper, 1920 Perf 15 X 14 ordinary paper, & 1922-26 Perf 12 X 11 1/2 ordinary paper & glazed paper, all with major numbers. I will present both here: "old" and "current" numbers.

*2017 Update: The Ceres issue presented here below originally had the (now "old") numbers in the 2011 catalogue. By 2016, Scott had parsed the Ceres into 1914 Perf 15 X 14 chalky paper, 1920 Perf 15 X 14 ordinary paper, & 1922-26 Perf 12 X 11 1/2 ordinary paper & glazed paper, all with major numbers. I will present both here: "old" and "current" numbers.
