1903 Senegambia & Niger in Bud's Big Blue
Bud's Big Blue
Bud's Observations
(From Jim: Bud is well, but has a lot of non philatelic obligations and responsibilities at the moment. With his permission, I will upload country pages in his complete '69 Big Blue that so far has not been shown. He might add his observations later. Enjoy!)
Jim's Observations
Senegambia & Niger was a short lived administrative French possession territory in West Africa between 1902-04, when it was consolidated with a part of (earlier era) French Sudan territory to become Upper Senegal and Niger. (See clarifying note at the end of the blogpost link below.)
Senegambia & Niger territory consisted of the upper basins of the Senegal river and the Niger river and parts east- somewhat ill-defined. The main settlement was Bammako on the Niger.
Senegambia & Niger administrative territory had one stamp issue: 1903 "Navigation and Commerce" stamps.
The 2014 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue has, for Senegambia & Niger 1903, thirteen major descriptions for the "Navigation and Commerce" issue.
Big Blue '69, has eight spaces for the 1903 issue. Coverage is 62%.
Senegambia & Niger in the '69 edition is located after St. Thomas and Prince Islands, and on the same page as Schleswig and the beginning of the St. Vincent coverage.
The 40s editions have Senegambia & Niger located after Salvador.
All editions have the same coverage.
BB has spaces for Scott 1-8, and includes two spaces @ CV $10+, and one space @ CV $20+.
