Na minha coleção constam alguns selos, cujas variedades, sejam de cor, de ausência de sobrecarga ou outros quesitos, não conseguir localizar no Catálogo Yvert & Tellier, ano 1957, não sei se nos catálogos posteriores eles estão incluídos. No entanto, fico na expectativa e, se alguém tiver alguma informação, fico muito grato e darei a devida divulgação neste blog. Por este motivo, são selos raros, selos valiosos, e selos de muito valor que, se forem postos à venda, serão através de leilão, em ocasiões muito especiais. ======================================================================= Selo emitido em 1922 pelas Índias Orientais Holandesas, atual Indonésia, antiga colônia holandesa em ilhas do Oceano Índico.

1868 Scott 10 25r rose "King Luiz" Stamps of Portugal Overprinted Into the Deep Blue A former colony, and now part of Portugal (Autonomous Region), the Azores are a group of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, 900 miles from Lisbon. The population was 250,000 in 1930, and the capital is Ponta Delgada. The Azores Portugal began issuing overprinted Portuguese stamps for the Azores in 1868, and the overprinted issues continued for the Azores until Portuguese stamps replaced them in 1931. Azores Blog Post and Checklist The Azores Blog post of 2011 primarily was concerned with the Big Blue coverage, and said very little about the stamp issues themselves. I now have a chance to rectify that. ;-) The plan is to broadly cover the overprinted Portugal regular issues of the Azores in two posts: 1868-1911 (this one), and 1912-1930 (next post). There won't be much overlap with the earlier Portugal post coverage, as I only reached the 1898 issue there. The break at 1911 for this post also makes denomination sense. The 1911 and prior stamps were denominated as Reis/Milreis, while the post 1912 issues were in Centavos/Escudo. A closer look at the 1868-1911 stamps and issues 1000 Reis = 1 Milreis 100 Centavos = 1 Escudo (1912) 1868 Scott 8 10r yellow "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2; OP Type A Stamps of Portugal Overprinted in Black or Carmine The first output for the Azores consisted on an 1868 six stamp overprinted imperforate issue, which derived from part of an 1866-67 Portuguese imperforate issue, and an 1868-70 nine stamp overprinted Perf 12 1/2 issue, which had been issued in Portugal near contemporaneously in 1867-70. All of the issued imperforates are found as perforates also. Reprints are on ungummed chalky white wove paper, or shiny white gum thin ivory paper, and, if perforated, are Perf 13 1/2. Be aware that reprints are ~ CV $30, considerably less expensive, in many cases, than the original stamps. For the perforates, a perforation gauge is your friend. ;-) As had been the case for the stamps of Portugal since 1853, these stamps were typographed and embossed. The overprint is "Type A"- the only type known for these issues. (More about this in a bit.) The design is labeled by Scott for the both the imperforate and perforated varieties as "A14". CV for the imperforates is $140-$10,000. (Beware of a 10r yellow perforate (CV $40) trimmed to look like an imperforate ($10,000). CV for the perforates is $10+-$400. Close-up of 1868-70 Issue Design A14 The "A14" design is characterized by a curvy value tablet (both upper and lower), which puts the denomination numerals at an angle. The subsequent 1871-75 and 1875-80 issues have a different design is these parts of the stamp ("A15"), as we will see soon. 1871 Scott 26b 50r green "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2; OP Type A Stamps of Portugal Overprinted in Black or Carmine The next nine denomination issue of 1871-75 had a different design ("A15"), and can be found with Type B overprint (major numbers), Type A overprint (minor numbers, save one), and Type C overprint (minor numbers). In a number of cases, the minor numbers are less CV expensive than the major numbers. Also different perforations exist for this issue (12 1/2, 13 1/2, 14), and there are some ribbed paper specimens, and minor number color variations. Reprints are Type B, on similar type papers as was outlined for the A14 issue, and can be found mostly Perf 13 1/2, with some Perf 12 1/2. All in all, a very complicated and challenging issue! CV ranges from $3+-$20+ for 25 major and minor number stamps (out of a total of 47 major/minor numbers). Close-up of 1871-75 Issue Design A15 The "A15" design differs from the "A14" design in that the upper and lower value tablets have the denomination numeral in a horizontal position. Azores Overprints Type A, B, & C Azores 1868-1882 Issues- From Scott Catalogue Now let's talk about Overprint Type A, B, & C. Type C is actually fairly easy, as the rectangular appearing "O" and "C" (squared off) is usually obvious. But Type A vs Type B? I throw my hands up! Yes, Type B is characterized by a rounder and fuller "O" and "C" (compared to Type A), and the fact that "C" and "O" are closer together. But in practice, I wasn't able to tell the difference with my stamps. It could be I actually don't have any Type B's. (I have six stamps from the 1971-75 issue (Type A), five stamps from the 1868-70 issue (A or B or C possible types) , and two stamps from the 1875-80 issue (Type C).) 1875 Scott 31 10r blue green "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2 1875-80 Issue (A15) Overprint Type C in Black The 1875-80 eight major number issue is design "A15", like the 1871-75 issue, but in different colors for the same denomination, or with new denominations. Most stamps exist with the Type C overprint, save for the 15r and 300r, which can also be found with Type B. Perf 13 1/2 has most of the major numbers, although Perf 12 1/2 can exist as well. The reprints for the 1875-80 issue have the same characteristics as the already discussed previous issues, CV ranges from $20+$175. 1881 Scott 42 50r blue "King Luiz" 1881-82 Issue OP Type C in Carmine or Black An older and more realistic King Luiz, no longer embossed, was issued in 1881. He would have been 43 years old, and 20 years into his reign. The overprint is of Type C. King Luiz in 1885 Dom Luis I was a cultured man. He wrote poetry and had a special interest in science and oceanography. The Aquario Vasco da Gama aquarium in Lisbon, which he founded, still exists. But during his reign, Portugal fell behind the other western nations in progress and prosperity. 1882 Scott 53 80r yellow; Perf 12 1/2 Enamel Surfaced Paper 1882 Scott 53a orange; Perf 12 1/2 Ordinary Paper 1882-1885 Issue Overprinted in Red or Black Eighteen major number stamps were issued in 1882-85 with the above overprint applied. There are forty additional minor number stamps in the catalogue for this issue. One can find different perforations (12 1/2 (most major numbers), 13 1/2, 11 1/2), and two major paper groupings: Ordinary vs Enamel Surfaced. CV is $3+-$10+ for six major number stamps. 1887 Scott 63 25r red violet "King Luiz" Black Overprint; Perf 11 1/2 A four stamp release with a no nonsense "King Luiz" portrait was issued in 1887.This would prove to be the last "King Luiz" issue for the Azores, as he died in 1889 at the age of 50. He was succeeded by his son, Carlos. 1894 Scott 71 75r deep carmine Portugal Scott 97-109 Overprinted Prince Henry the Navigator Issue Now we enter into the advent of commemoratives among nations, kicked off by the US 1893 Columbian Exposition Issue. For the 5th century of the birth of Prince Henry the Navigator, a thirteen stamps set of the above design was issued in 1894. CV is $3-$10 for nine stamps. Prince Henry the Navigator during the conquest of Ceuta The above panel by Jorge Colaco (1864-1942) depicts the conquest of Moroccan Ceuta on the African coast on August 21, 1415. This was the beginning of the Portuguese Empire. 1895 Scott 75 2 1/2r black, Typographed Portugal Nos. 132-146 Overprinted in Red or Black St. Anthony of Padua Issue In 1895, a fifteen stamp issue was released to mark the 7th centenary of the birth of St. Anthony of Padua. There were four designs, but only one (the 2 1/2r black above) was typographed, while the rest were lithographed. Note the "Ponta Delgada" cancellation? You might recall that Ponta Delgada also issued their own stamps between 1892-1905. 1895 Scott 83 25r green & violet, Lithographed Portugal Nos. 132-146 Overprinted in Red or Black St. Anthony of Padua Issue Five of the denominations showed St. Anthony preaching to the fishes. CV is $1+-$9+ for six stamps. BTW, the stamps have a eulogy in Latin printed on the back. I show one with the Portugal post, including a translation by one of out intrepid readers in the comments section. 1898 Scott 99 100r bister brown "Flagship San Gabriel" Vasco da Gama Issue; Common Design Type In 1898, an eight stamp eight design set was issued marking the Voyages of Vasco da Gama. This is a common design type, so we have seen it before with other Portuguese colonies. 1906 Scott 109 200r red lilac/pinkish "King Carlos" The well known "King Carlos" design, seen with most Portuguese colonies, made its appearance in 1906 with an eleven stamp issue. CV is

1920 Scott 172 14c dark blue/yellow Ceres Issue of Portugal, Overprinted With Imprint; Chalky paper; Perf 12 X 11 1/2 Into the Deep Blue One reason I wanted to have two Azores blog posts was to be able to feature, in the second blog post, - this one- , the gorgeous engraved overprinted Portuguese commemoratives of 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1928 for the Azores. As I only published one Portugal blog post, and it only covered the stamps through the 19th century, we are in for a new treat here! The first Azores post covered 1868-1911. This one will cover 1912-1931, and start off with the famous "Ceres" issue. Since Scott completely reordered this issue in their catalogue the last several years, it behooves us to re-examine them. Now, why are we ending coverage for Azores in 1931? That is because, beginning in 1931, the stamps of Portugal supplanted those of the Azores. A closer look at the stamps and issues 1000 Reis = 1 Milreis 100 Centavos = 1 Escudo (1912) 2013 Scott 169 50c orange/salmon Overprinted Ceres Issue of Portugal With Imprint; Chalky paper; Perf 15 X 14 To get an idea of the changes in the Scott catalogue, consider, that for Azores typographic "Ceres" issue in the 2011 catalogue, there were 83 major numbers ("old" Scott 155-237) for the 1912-31 years. The two perf varieties ( 12 X 11 1/2, 15 X 14) were lumped together, and not given separate numbers. Types of paper were not even indicated. Well that changed by the time the 2014 catalogue was published. Now the Scott catalogue follows quite closely the Afinsa (Now Mundifil) Specialized Portugal catalogues in terms of varieties. And that's a good thing, but can be challenging. ;-) Well, what are the differences? Now there are 109 major varieties with imprint on the foot of the stamp. The 1912-19 stamps that are Perf 15 X 14 on chalky paper are now "new" Scott 155-171, (17 stamps). The 1920 chalky paper stamp that is Perf 12 X 11 /2 is Scott 172, (1 stamp). (The Perf 12 X 11 1/2 chalky 1920 Scott 172 14c dark blue/yellow is illustrated at the header of this blog post.) What that means is the collector may need to determine if the stamp is on "chalky" paper or ordinary paper, as the stamps may be identical otherwise. Specifically, the first eleven 15 X 14 denominated stamps (1/4c dark olive-15c plum) that exist as "chalky", have an ordinary 15 X 14 paper doppelganger. I wish I could tell you that it is always easy to tell the difference, but, especially for used "chalky" specimens, where the chalk is less evident, it can be a problem. The "chalky" stamps tend to have a higher CV than the ordinary paper stamps. CV for used chalky stamps ranges from

He wrote poetry and had a special interest in science and oceanography. The Aquario Vasco da Gama aquarium in Lisbon, which he founded, still exists. But during his reign, Portugal fell behind the other western nations in progress and prosperity. 1882 Scott 53 80r yellow; Perf 12 1/2 Enamel Surfaced Paper 1882 Scott 53a orange; Perf 12 1/2 Ordinary Paper 1882-1885 Issue Overprinted in Red or Black Eighteen major number stamps were issued in 1882-85 with the above overprint applied. There are forty additional minor number stamps in the catalogue for this issue. One can find different perforations (12 1/2 (most major numbers), 13 1/2, 11 1/2), and two major paper groupings: Ordinary vs Enamel Surfaced. CV is $3+-$10+ for six major number stamps. 1887 Scott 63 25r red violet "King Luiz" Black Overprint; Perf 11 1/2 A four stamp release with a no nonsense "King Luiz" portrait was issued in 1887.This would prove to be the last "King Luiz" issue for the Azores, as he died in 1889 at the age of 50. He was succeeded by his son, Carlos. 1894 Scott 71 75r deep carmine Portugal Scott 97-109 Overprinted Prince Henry the Navigator Issue Now we enter into the advent of commemoratives among nations, kicked off by the US 1893 Columbian Exposition Issue. For the 5th century of the birth of Prince Henry the Navigator, a thirteen stamps set of the above design was issued in 1894. CV is $3-$10 for nine stamps. Prince Henry the Navigator during the conquest of Ceuta The above panel by Jorge Colaco (1864-1942) depicts the conquest of Moroccan Ceuta on the African coast on August 21, 1415. This was the beginning of the Portuguese Empire. 1895 Scott 75 2 1/2r black, Typographed Portugal Nos. 132-146 Overprinted in Red or Black St. Anthony of Padua Issue In 1895, a fifteen stamp issue was released to mark the 7th centenary of the birth of St. Anthony of Padua. There were four designs, but only one (the 2 1/2r black above) was typographed, while the rest were lithographed. Note the "Ponta Delgada" cancellation? You might recall that Ponta Delgada also issued their own stamps between 1892-1905. 1895 Scott 83 25r green & violet, Lithographed Portugal Nos. 132-146 Overprinted in Red or Black St. Anthony of Padua Issue Five of the denominations showed St. Anthony preaching to the fishes. CV is $1+-$9+ for six stamps. BTW, the stamps have a eulogy in Latin printed on the back. I show one with the Portugal post, including a translation by one of out intrepid readers in the comments section. 1898 Scott 99 100r bister brown "Flagship San Gabriel" Vasco da Gama Issue; Common Design Type In 1898, an eight stamp eight design set was issued marking the Voyages of Vasco da Gama. This is a common design type, so we have seen it before with other Portuguese colonies. 1906 Scott 109 200r red lilac/pinkish "King Carlos" The well known "King Carlos" design, seen with most Portuguese colonies, made its appearance in 1906 with an eleven stamp issue. CV is

1868 Scott 10 25r rose "King Luiz" Stamps of Portugal Overprinted Into the Deep Blue A former colony, and now part of Portugal (Autonomous Region), the Azores are a group of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, 900 miles from Lisbon. The population was 250,000 in 1930, and the capital is Ponta Delgada. The Azores Portugal began issuing overprinted Portuguese stamps for the Azores in 1868, and the overprinted issues continued for the Azores until Portuguese stamps replaced them in 1931. Azores Blog Post and Checklist The Azores Blog post of 2011 primarily was concerned with the Big Blue coverage, and said very little about the stamp issues themselves. I now have a chance to rectify that. ;-) The plan is to broadly cover the overprinted Portugal regular issues of the Azores in two posts: 1868-1911 (this one), and 1912-1930 (next post). There won't be much overlap with the earlier Portugal post coverage, as I only reached the 1898 issue there. The break at 1911 for this post also makes denomination sense. The 1911 and prior stamps were denominated as Reis/Milreis, while the post 1912 issues were in Centavos/Escudo. A closer look at the 1868-1911 stamps and issues 1000 Reis = 1 Milreis 100 Centavos = 1 Escudo (1912) 1868 Scott 8 10r yellow "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2; OP Type A Stamps of Portugal Overprinted in Black or Carmine The first output for the Azores consisted on an 1868 six stamp overprinted imperforate issue, which derived from part of an 1866-67 Portuguese imperforate issue, and an 1868-70 nine stamp overprinted Perf 12 1/2 issue, which had been issued in Portugal near contemporaneously in 1867-70. All of the issued imperforates are found as perforates also. Reprints are on ungummed chalky white wove paper, or shiny white gum thin ivory paper, and, if perforated, are Perf 13 1/2. Be aware that reprints are ~ CV $30, considerably less expensive, in many cases, than the original stamps. For the perforates, a perforation gauge is your friend. ;-) As had been the case for the stamps of Portugal since 1853, these stamps were typographed and embossed. The overprint is "Type A"- the only type known for these issues. (More about this in a bit.) The design is labeled by Scott for the both the imperforate and perforated varieties as "A14". CV for the imperforates is $140-$10,000. (Beware of a 10r yellow perforate (CV $40) trimmed to look like an imperforate ($10,000). CV for the perforates is $10+-$400. Close-up of 1868-70 Issue Design A14 The "A14" design is characterized by a curvy value tablet (both upper and lower), which puts the denomination numerals at an angle. The subsequent 1871-75 and 1875-80 issues have a different design is these parts of the stamp ("A15"), as we will see soon. 1871 Scott 26b 50r green "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2; OP Type A Stamps of Portugal Overprinted in Black or Carmine The next nine denomination issue of 1871-75 had a different design ("A15"), and can be found with Type B overprint (major numbers), Type A overprint (minor numbers, save one), and Type C overprint (minor numbers). In a number of cases, the minor numbers are less CV expensive than the major numbers. Also different perforations exist for this issue (12 1/2, 13 1/2, 14), and there are some ribbed paper specimens, and minor number color variations. Reprints are Type B, on similar type papers as was outlined for the A14 issue, and can be found mostly Perf 13 1/2, with some Perf 12 1/2. All in all, a very complicated and challenging issue! CV ranges from $3+-$20+ for 25 major and minor number stamps (out of a total of 47 major/minor numbers). Close-up of 1871-75 Issue Design A15 The "A15" design differs from the "A14" design in that the upper and lower value tablets have the denomination numeral in a horizontal position. Azores Overprints Type A, B, & C Azores 1868-1882 Issues- From Scott Catalogue Now let's talk about Overprint Type A, B, & C. Type C is actually fairly easy, as the rectangular appearing "O" and "C" (squared off) is usually obvious. But Type A vs Type B? I throw my hands up! Yes, Type B is characterized by a rounder and fuller "O" and "C" (compared to Type A), and the fact that "C" and "O" are closer together. But in practice, I wasn't able to tell the difference with my stamps. It could be I actually don't have any Type B's. (I have six stamps from the 1971-75 issue (Type A), five stamps from the 1868-70 issue (A or B or C possible types) , and two stamps from the 1875-80 issue (Type C).) 1875 Scott 31 10r blue green "King Luiz" Perf 12 1/2 1875-80 Issue (A15) Overprint Type C in Black The 1875-80 eight major number issue is design "A15", like the 1871-75 issue, but in different colors for the same denomination, or with new denominations. Most stamps exist with the Type C overprint, save for the 15r and 300r, which can also be found with Type B. Perf 13 1/2 has most of the major numbers, although Perf 12 1/2 can exist as well. The reprints for the 1875-80 issue have the same characteristics as the already discussed previous issues, CV ranges from $20+$175. 1881 Scott 42 50r blue "King Luiz" 1881-82 Issue OP Type C in Carmine or Black An older and more realistic King Luiz, no longer embossed, was issued in 1881.
