Uganda 1895 (May) Narrow Letters in Black, Narrow Stamps The Rev. Ernest Millar received a new Barlock typewriter during May 1895. It had a slightly narrower type-face, the difference between this and the previous issue being more apparent in the letters than the numerals. The format remained as before and the stamps varied in width from 16mm. to 18mm. 20(c.), two unused singles reconstructed as a vertical pair, borders on all sides, the lower stamp with two light creases otherwise fine. S.G. 29, £2200. Photo Estimate £ 600-800 provenance: Isleham, May 1987 (top stamp)
