Default (RCSD) Looking Back #196 - Consular Overprints (SCADTA)

Consular Overprints

Semi-official stamps issued in 1921-3 by SCADTA,
the Colombian airline, were sold at various Colombian
consulates in Europe, Latin America, etc., to prepay
airmail postage within Colombia on letters sent from Abroad.

For identification and control purposes overprints
were applied to the stamps to indicate in which
country they had ben sold. Thus an 'A' overprint
indicates Germany, A-U = Argentina or Uruguay,
B = Belgium, Bo = Bolivia, Br = Brazil, C = Cuba.
CR = Costa Rica, Ca = Canada, Ch = Chile,
D = Denmark, E = Spain, EU = United States,
F = France, G.B. = Great Britain, I = Italy,
H = Netherlands, P = Panama, PE = Peru,
Su = Sweden, S = Switzerland, and
V = Venezuela.

- R. J. Sutton 6th edition revised by K. W. Anthony
The Stamp Collector's Encyclopaedia
Published 1966

Editor's Note: Rainer Fuchs points out that this
is an incomplete note. "There have been
handstamps on the 1921 issue, handstamps on
1923 issue and finally machine overprints on the
1923 issue. Michel lists most of them, a total of
697 different stamps.

One of the best, if not the best, book on these
issues is Los Primeros Cincuenta Anos de
Correo Aereo en Colombia by Eugenio Gebauer
& Jairo Londono T., published in 1975."

Hi Blair,

Two other books are pretty good also. They do not have too many
pictures but good listings and history.

The Air Posts of Colombia, F, W, Kessler
The Air Posts of Colombia, Eugebio Gebauer

Also the Scott 1840-1940 edition now lists these issues. I haven't
seen the listings yet.

Do you collect Colombia or just SCADTA?

To answer privately use jabodoff at sbcglobal dot net with RCSD in
title.
