INDIA, PRINCELY STATE OF TRAVANCORE
Selection for listing on Delcampe today
The First Stamps Travancore.
16th October, 1888, with an issue of three values. 2 printings of the same but slight difference in color.
1 chuckram, blue and dark blue.
2 chuckrams, orange and vermilion.
4 chuckrams, yellow-green and green.
In 1889 the 1 chuckram, 2 chuckrams, and 4 chuckrams were reprinted from the same plates.
In 1899 there was a third printing of the same with the watermarks sideways.
In 1901 new plates for all values were used.
Other values are between 1904 and 1911
Three shell watermarks
Service stamps 1911 to 1920 with overprint "On S. S." with different print styles.
In the second image in row 3 the third stamp looks suspicious? is that a forgery?
Other stamps are:
1939 27th Birthday of Maharaja, Lake Ashtamudi
Maharaja Bala Rama Varma XI
In 1941 overprints of the above.
All these stamps have a very low SG value.
