Belgium #1236 deluxe proof sheet

Lou wrote: Back in 1986, a special imperf deluxe proof sheet with an embossed cachet was created by the Belgium Post for the catalog produced for the Congo-Zaire Centenary Stamp Exhibition held in Brussels. It had a printing of 2000 pieces, and was only sold at the seven day exhibition.

Belgium imprinted envelopes

Issued: 17.3.1986

Lou wrote: My Belgium deluxe proof buy reminded me that I never advised on two Belgium imprinted envelopes that were also issued on March 17 for the Congo stamp centenary in 1986. The mono-color indicia were based on the design of Belgium #1236 reproducing Belgian Congo-Congo Free State #3, and have values of 13 and 24 francs.

In my collection, I have mint and first day cancelled envelopes and an especially prized combo cover with #1236 added, flown to Zaire, which I am showing off.

Reproduces a postal card mailed in 1949 with a Belgium Scott Type A82 / Coat of Arms stamp. 

Lou wrote: I have not been able to ID this stamp, but not for trying. There are several stamps of this type with shades of purple which it could be so I thought if I had the rate I could figure out the stamp.  I researched Belgian postal rates, and according to one source, from 1945 to late 1949, the rate for a postal card (with imprinted stamp) was 1 Fr, but the only stamp with that value is brown.  I have also seen mention that during this period, postal rates were reduced by 10% and late in 1949 overprinted with reduced values, were issued, so it is possible that 90c is the right rate, but I can't confirm it. There is a 90c stamp close to the color and I guess that would be a good a choice as any to illustrate the Type (Sc #281).

Inside #1779t: TBI

Lou wrote: I spent hours on in the catalogs and sites. It honors Philately and I was sure the little torn bits were parts of Belgian stamps, but I was never able to ID one, but you do have perforations inside a stamp, symbolic?

Belgium #139a, 1920 65c Town Hall at Termonde, Center Inverted: The stamps went on sale August 5 (1920) as planned. Eight days later, a clerk at the Ghent Central Post Office began breaking up a sheet in the normal manner to sell individual stamps to customers. Nine stamps from this sheet were sold to a hotel bellhop. Several other customers purchased the 65c stamps and affixed them to letters. Then Hye de Crom purchased one of the Termonde stamps. He noticed something unusual about it. The Town Hall was upside down. The clerk had been selling stamps from a sheet with inverted centers without realizing it. Knowing the potential value of these major errors, de Crom returned to the window to buy more stamps from the sheet. He succeeded in purchasing 16 inverts in all - the last three rows of the sheet and a copy from the first row. The other copies of this remarkable error probably were used on mail and later destroyed (Linn's Philatelic Gems 2).

The Great War 1915

Inside #2748 (monotone in enlargement of cover in background): Belgium #114P

Lou wrote: There are dozens and dozens of these sos issues with softened reproductions of the stamp added to the designs. Sometimes they're monotones like this one, and sometimes they're in light pastels of the actual colors. I've been trying to come up with a name for them--"faded image","ghost image", "paled image" "bleached image", for instance.  For now, I am leaning toward "faint image" or "paled image". 

"Ghost image" was my early name choice, but after some research, I found that the term is actually used for accidental duplicate printings with a lightly inked or almost dry plate--and, since I have several examples of such in my sos collection. I am reserving that title for those.

Neutral Moresnet

Inside #????-?: Moresnet stamps 1886

Moresnet was a small neutral country between Belgium and Germany and measured only 344ha and had only 256 habitants. As it has no own post office, both Belgian and German stamps were used (depending to wich country the post has to go).

However, in octobre 1886 Moresnet issued her own stamps (8 values). Two weeks later, the mayor of Moresnet considered it illegal and the emission became forbidden and all remaining stamps received a cancellation.
