125^th Anniversary of Postage Stamps in Malaysia

Inside #463: Straits Settlements #1O

The Straits Settlements of the Malayan Peninsula have a distinct postal history from the other Malayan areas. Mail was originally handled privately by passing ships; the earliest known postal markings date from around 1806, used by a post office on Prince of Wales Island (now Penang). Service was regularized in 1837 by the Indian Post Office Act; postage stamps of India were used from 1854, the Settlements being considered part of the "Bengal circle", then from 1861 part of the "Burma circle". The cancellations used were B109 at Malacca, B147 at Penang, and B172 at Singapore.

When the Settlements became a crown colony in 1867, they had to begin issuing their own stamps, not least because they adopted a currency based on 96 cents to a silver dollar. Beginning on 1 September 1867, nine types in the existing stocks of Indian stamps were overprinted with a crown and a new value in cents. Stamps printed by De La Rue for the Settlements started arriving in December; they are notable for a prominent white frame around the profile of Victoria, inscribed "STRAITS SETTLEMENTS POSTAGE". The set of nine values, 2c to 96c, appeared gradually, with the 30c value not being issued until 1872.

Joint issue - Indonesia and Malaysia

Lou wrote: A joint issue from Indonesia and Malaysia released on August 8 2011, reproducing the first stamp issued by each as an independent nation, but saved by the very rare stamp chosen by Indonesia. I had to do some involved on line research to come up with a scan and (not much) background information on the stamp.

The Indonesia stamp is a provisional stamp issued by the revolutionary Indonesian army in Surakarta, Java in the self-proclaimed Republic of Indonesia in August, 1949. According to the sources, only 500 imperf and ungummed 15rp Military stamps were produced, and less than 50 exist today, including several used on covers. The central motif of the very primitive looking production is two palm trees bordering a smoking fire atop a monument, representing the “inextinguishable blaze of the revolution”. As a local, provisional issue it is only listed in specialized Indonesia catalogs, but one gives a value of $3500 (U.S.) mint or used. Also attached is a photo of a portion of the cover of an unnamed catalog which shows a Military stamp cancelled in Surakarta.

The Malaysia stamp with #84 was also produced in a horizontal strip of 4 with three other designs from the SS, but I have not seen a scan of them yet. There is no Malaysia se tenant pair of the two SOS designs except in the sheet.

The 75th Anniversary of the Philatelic Society of Malaysia

Malaysia #???? (2017) with overprint in the right corner

Zoltán wrote: Looking through the Malaysian stamps, I found an oddity. A block was issued in 2017 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Straits Settlements stamp, followed by an overprint in 2022 to mark the 75th anniversary of the Malaysian Philatelic Society. The two blocks do not differ in any other way, not even the 2017 date on the stamp! I am attaching the pictures.

Lou wrote: The 2022 s/s was created by adding an overprint in the right corner of the 2017 issue, commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Philatelic Society of Malaysia. Colnect gives the day of issue as November 30, 2022, but first day covers selling on multiple sites have a December 10, 2022 date. The covers have a premium selling price compared to that of the mint s/s. One Malaysia dealer is even selling a cover, probably prepared by him, which has the overprinted s/s added to the 2017 fdc and tied with the 2022 date, for $55.00!
