Flag of Turkey

Turkey, known officially as the Republic of Turkey, is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in western Asia and Thrace (Rumelia) in the Balkan region of southeastern Europe. Turkey is one of the six independent Turkic states. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan (the exclave of Nakhchivan) and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus are to the south; the Aegean Sea to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (which together form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between Eastern Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia.

On January 1, 1863, Turkey issued its first adhesive postage stamps. It was the second independent country in Asia to issue adhesive stamps, preceded only by Russia in 1858, and two British colonies, Scinde District of India in 1852, India itself in 1854 and Ceylon in 1857. Turkey's stamps came less than two years after its neighbor and former territory, Greece (independent 1832), issued its first stamps.

The design consists of the tughra, the Turkish emblem of sovereignty, for the then current ruler Sultan Abdülaziz, over a crescent bearing the inscription in Ottoman Turkish Devleti Aliye Osmaniye, or "The Sublime Ottoman Empire". Between some of the stamps there is a control band with the words Nazareti Maliye devleti aliye, or "Ministry of Finance of the Imperial Government". The stamp was designed and lithographed at the Constantinople mint, and the writing is entirely in Turkish using Arabic script. The issue includes four denominations issued as regular postage stamps, and the same four values as postage due stamps. Including paper variants, a total of 10 Scott catalogue numbers have been assigned the issue.

Lou wrote: Technically, the stamp reproduced is Sc # 5b, since there is no colored band at the base. I'm sure the designer left off the band on this, and the other centenary issues (see #1560-3 and #1601) for esthetic reasons, but according to books on classic Turkish stamps, the first issues were not valid for postage unless a banded stamp was used on mails.

Lou wrote: I saw on WNS a great sos stamp from another s/s that I had never seen before. In checking Scott's, I saw that they did not list or mention it, and I thought maybe it was a cancelled issue.  In checking online, I did find it and saw the reason it wasn't in Scott's.

The s/s was from a special very limited issue 150th Anniversary presentation folder, and tho it had a face value of 1.50 Turkish Lire, it sold for a much higher price (so far, I haven't been able to find out exactly what), and that is a no-no for Scott's. I found one for sale on line from Turkey with a price of $ 80.00.

It's too bad that Turkey went this way with this s/s, since it is a better design that the regular issue, and tho I doubt many sos collectors will be getting one, I think it should be noted on the site. It is a true 150th anniversary sos, as it shows a stamp from the first issue of 1863 and one of the stamps from the 2013 anniversary s/s.

Lou Wrote: I was just working on replacing my album page for this issue, and I realized that I hadn't sent you the  ID for Turkey # 3367 I made almost ten years ago. On it, in the center of the museum  display, is what is surely a very small Penny Black. I could not ID the other nine colorful little blobs, but I would bet that they are real stamps too.

In my database scans, I had always disliked showing a Penny Black with odd check letters when the letters on the SoS were obscure or I couldn't find a matching scan. Originally, I used a scan with A-A check letters (the first PB in the pane of 240), but a while back, I began using a scan without check letters I created from a PB  essay I found online (see attached). For this SoS, I like it better.

Scott: Note after #3465O

As a result of the developments that had experienced with the Hatt-ı Sharif of Gülhane (Tanzimat Fermanı), the first postal organization was established as the ‘Ministry of Post’ (Posta Nezareti) on 23th October 1840 with the purpose of satisfying the postal needs of the whole community of the Ottoman Empire. The first post office opened under the name of ‘Postahane-i Amire’ at the courtyard of the ‘Yeni Camii’ (New Mosque) in Istanbul.

11 years later right after the invention of telegraph in 1843, the telegraph service had started also in the country and a separate ‘Directorate of Telegraph’ was established in 1855 in order to discipline this service across the country.

‘The Ministry of Post’ and ‘The Directorate of Telegraph’ were united under the name of the ‘Ministry of Post and Telegraph’ in 1871.

In 1876, international postal transportation network was established and it started to accept the transactions of money order and parcel in 1901.

After the foundation of the first manuel telephone exchange service in Istanbul on 23th May 1909, the ‘Ministry of Post and Telegraph’ was transformed into the ‘Ministry of Post, Telegraph and Telephone’ at the same year. The transformation continued progressively and it was named as the ‘General Directorate of Post, Telegraph and Telephone’ in 1913.

On 18th June 1994, the General Directorate of PTT was restructured as the ‘Republic of Turkey, General Directorate of Posts’ and ‘Turkish Telecommunication Corporation’. It carried out its activities as ‘Republic of Turkey, General Directorate of Posts’ as of 24th April 1995. On 29th January 2000, the name of our Corporation which had been ‘Republic of Turkey, General Directorate of Posts’ was changed as ‘Republic of Turkey, The General Directorate of Post and Telegraph Organization (PTT)’.

By taking the right steps forward with the industry-specific variation in the areas of communications, transportation and finance and in relation to satisfy the ever increasing customers expectations; our corporation was restructured as ‘Republic of Turkey, Postal and Telegraph Corporation’ in 2013.

Our Corporation that has a 175 years long-standing background and aims to provide economical, fast, reliable and best quality service in the areas of postal, cargo, banking and e-commerce fields with its wide-ranging service network across the country, with its two-centuries experience, with the contemporary technology and with its experienced staff; has been proceeded with an innovative and modern approach with the help of today’s changing technology.
