Can not talk about the first two, but the next two are Scott #254B and 254A. Need to read the notes following 1943-44, without "RF". May shed some light on the first two. I suspect that they probably fall some place between Scott #212-239, but may not be in Scott.

This may help with the first two.

Ralph yes you are correct about B11 and B12. However Mel you are right about 254A and 254B. I knew the later were not 153 and 183 because they did not have the "RF" in the top left corner like the true 153 and 183. Bottom line - I guess I need to start wearing my reading glasses when I am looking at the catalog. I just missed both of those sections where these stamps were described.. Thanks all. Steve

Steve,
You are not the only one who needs reading glasses. I completely missed the B11 and B12 and I looked there first.

You are correct Steve. I went back to my Scott album, and guess what....the page with #254A-E was missing completely.
I did find the 20 c in my duplicates, but I guess I trusted the album rather than the catalog, so now I am looking for the others.
So, for all the sellers...I in the market for 4/5 for this set, I guess, or the whole set.
rrr...

Ralph,
I think the older Scott Catalogs did not have this set and they were added later - so they came up for A-E listing. I think have done this many times in recent years. I know in the Portuguese Colonies they re-numbered the Ceres issue with variations and went to the letters several years ago. It caused some confusion at the time.. Anyway - you know I have 1 of the other 4 stamps you now need. I am planning on putting it in the approval book I am creating for probably early next month . Steve

I am going thru an old Madagascar collection I found. The 4 stamps in the picture are not listed in Scott. The first two have an overprint I can not identify. The second two are missing the RF in the top left hand corner of the stamps #153 and #183. There is not even a mention in Scott about these. I am no expert on Madagascar but I assume other catalogs may have some info on these stamps and their approx value. I want to put them in an approval book I am creating but have no idea if they are common or not.. Thanks, Steve
