My Postage Stamps Collection

This is a blog of my personal stamps and covers collection. I am an avid collector of postage stamps, miniature sheets, FDCs and covers addressed to me from across the world, an accumulator and hoarder of stamps. It is my attempt here to show you all of my collection in the posts that I'll add and update regularly. I hope to add more to the collection in the process, interact with you other collectors out there and share thoughts and information about anything and everything related.

My stamps of Chad

Back to my collection of stamps of Africa....today, Im putting up the very few stamps of Chad I have.

Chad is located in central Africa south of Libya. A former dependency of Ubangi-Shari, Chad became a separate French colony in 1920. In 1934, the colonies of Chad, Gabon, Middle Congo and Ubangi-Shari were grouped in a single administrative unit known as French Equatorial Africa, with the capital at Brazzaville. The Republic of Chad was proclaimed November 28, 1958.

This set of prehistoric rock paintings is from 1962. These are postage due stamps. Timbre Taxe printed on the bottom right corner of the stamps. The set consists of 12 stamps. Ive got 8 of the 12.
