Rhodesia, 50 Different Stamps

Fill lots of spots in your album inexpensively with this special collector's set of 50 postally used Rhodesia stamps.  Selections may vary – guaranteed to be free of duplicates.

The collection I looked through included lots of treats, including the 1913-23 King George V issue, some complete sets, stamps from Northern and Southern Rhodesia, bi-colors and issues from Rhodesia & Nyasland.

Southern Rhodesia was a self-governing British colony from 1923–1953, then part of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (1953–63).

Several stamps from Southern Rhodesia feature monarchs like Queen Elizabeth II and King George VI, plus scenes like Rhodes’ Grave or agriculture.

2. Northern Rhodesia

Northern Rhodesia was a British protectorate from 1911–1964 (now Zambia).  Stamps show King George VI with African wildlife (giraffe and elephant).

Rhodesia and Nyasaland (also known as the Central African Federation (1953–1963), combining Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland (now Malawi) feature stamps from this period that often just say “RHODESIA” or “RHODESIA & NYASALAND” and show Queen Elizabeth II with scenic or cultural imagery.

Nyasaland, a British protectorate from 1907–1964, became Malawi after independence.
