In September. 1874, penny and six.
penny stamps we're printed for the
Boer government by a Mr.. Davis Of
Maritzburg. These are noteworthy be.
cause they we're the first to be perfor.
ated for use in the republic. After this

printing till the arst British occupa.

The British seized all the stamps OF
the republic remaining In the postofics
and printed over them " r. Trans

state. The printers worked under
some pressure. 50 naturally there we're
few errors.
A famous ono Is penHy rod on blus
With the name OF the State spelled
"Transveal." The stamps with these
errors are so rare that experts value
them at from S375 to $3.50 apiece.
There were other errors all OF i'm.
portance now to tho philatelist. One
shows the overprint inverted on tho
stamps. A rare print OF one OF these Is
valued at S1.00.
There are only two specimens known.
One Is the Nankivel collection. the
other in the TAPPING collection, which.
arranged in fine cabinets, is on view IN
the British museum.
In 1878 the British introduced a new
set OF Transyaal stamps In denomin0
tions from a half penny to two shr.
lings each. They are not rare, and
we're stlll In use in 1882. when the
Beers got their country back and held
It till 1900.
They took sOme OF the British
stamps and overprlnted them "Eln

a new set was being made. This time
they had the plates made In Holland.
The various sets made from these
Dutch plates. with a few provislonals
used during sbostage OF supplies, lasted
them till the republic fell in June OF
1900.
Then came the stamps OF the second
British occupation. The British mill
