-----OLD AND ANTIQUE STAMPS------


Many stamp collectors, known as philatelists, specialize in vintage stamps, also called classic stamps. By some accounts, a vintage stamp is simply any postage that is not in current circulation so it couldn't be used to send a piece of mail. Other experts define vintage stamps as older than some arbitrary year, such as 1960 or 1900, depending on the postal service history of each country. These classic stamps are solely defined by their age, so they include misprints, canceled or uncancelled, national or international, commemorative, and air post selections.Some philatelists restrict their vintage stamp collections to one particular year or one country, determined by the cancellation mark. This lends a historical dimension to their hobby that leads collectors to discover engraving and printing techniques, advertising trends, tourist patterns, and international relations such as colonial connections. Other unusual attributes of vintage stamps might catch their attention because of high face value, airmail only, misprinted with strange colors or typos, postage due, or special delivery.

    • SOME OLD AND ANTIQUE STAMPS OF INDIA



    The Reforms of 1854 and the First Issues

    The first stamps valid for postage throughout India were placed on sale in October 1854 with four values: 1/2 anna, 1 anna, 2 annas, and 4 annas.[15] Featuring a youthful profile of Queen Victoria aet. 15 years, all four values were designed and printed in Calcutta, and issued without perforations or gum. All were lithographed except for the 2 annas green, which was produced by typography from copper clichés or from electrotyped plates. The 4 annas value (illustrated) was one of the world's first bicolored stamps, preceded only by the Basel Dove, a beautiful local issue.

    These stamps were issued following a Commission of Inquiry which had carefully studied the postal systems of Europe and America.


    The Scinde District Dawk

    The use of the Scinde Dawk adhesive stamps to signify the prepayment of postage began on 1 July 1852 in the Scinde/Sindh district,[13] as part of a comprehensive reform of the district's postal system. A year earlier Sir Bartle Frere had replaced the postal runners with a network of horses and camels, improving communications in the Indus river valley to serve the military and commercial needs of the British East India Company.

    The new stamps were embossed individually onto paper or a wax wafer. The shape was circular, with "SCINDE DISTRICT DAWK" around the rim and the British East India Company's Merchant's Mark as the central emblem.


    India Security Press

    From 1 January 1926 all printing and overprinting of India' postage stamps was conducted at India Security Press, Nasik. The possibility of printing postage stamps and other security items in India had been enquired into before the First World War but could not be pursued at that time.

    The printing of stamps at Nasik began in 1925. The first stamps produced were the definitive series of George V, printed using typography from the same plates used earlier in England by De La Rue, which were now transferred to India.


    Independent India

    The First Stamp of Independent India was issued on 21 November 1947. It depicts the Indian Flag with the patriots' slogan, Jai Hind (Long Live India), on the top right hand corner. It was valued at three and one-half annas.

    India has printed stamps and postal stationery for other countries, mostly neighbours. Countries which have had stamps printed in India include Burma (before independence), Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Portugal, and Ethiopia.
