![]() Waikoa Island 2015 Stamp Jubilee minisheet, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Waikoa Island stamps way back in 1965. Waikoa Island issued this attractive set of four stamps in 2015 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Waikoa Island stamps. The minisheet comprises two full sets. Issue date was 23rd September 2015. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The designs show classic & rare early stamps of the island: 35t - The 1965 2¢ definitive; The 1976 50¢ Anti-Nuclear Bomb stamp. 70t - The 1970 12¢ Lenin Birth Centenary; The 1976 50¢ Anti-Nuclear Bomb stamp. Rs 1.70 - The 1972 6¢ International Anti-SST League conference in Mevu; The 1976 1¢ Anti-Nuclear Bomb stamp. Rs 2.35 - The 1965 10¢ definitive; The 1976 9¢ Anti-Nuclear Bomb stamp. === About the stamps shown: The 1965 definitive: This comprised 6 values, attractively printed in several colours on white gummed and perforated paper. The stamps show the island crest: a shield with a star and a ship prow. The 1965 definitive are shown here: http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=38713&p=4568318 The 1976 Anti-Nuclear Bomb issue: This comprised 3 values, and was an omnibus issue with Mevu and some other lands issuing similar stamps. The issue was prompted by France doing atmospheric nuclear testing near Tahiti, with radiation fallout affecting Waikoa Island & the rest of the Pacific. The 1970 Lenin Centenary issue: Many lands celebrated the centenary of the birth of theoretician & statesman Vladimir Lenin (1870 – 1924) with commemorative stamps. The Waikoa Island set has the overprint in embossed gold; the only time such an expensive process has been used for Waikoa Island stamps. The 1972 International Anti-SST League issue: The IAL was an environmental organisation founded by Mevu statesmen, opposing the concept of supersonic transport aircraft such as the Concorde. The 1972 Waikoa Island stamps celebrating the first IAL world assembly were on sale for only one day before a telegram was received from Mevu, the ruling country, ordering the issue withdrawn. Unsold stamps were destroyed. The top value, the 30¢, is the rarest Waikoa Island stamp of all time; only 6 were sold. |

Here is an earlier issue from Occussi-Ambeno, the 1996 set for the Festival of Hathor.
![]() Occussi-Ambeno 1996 Festival of Hathor set. The set was printed by Adana letterpress on thick white glossy paper without watermark, and perf 12. The design shows a photograph of the great goddess Hathor, and at the foot are the Egyptian hieroglyphs saying Festival of the great Hathor. Sadly, the print was not a success. The red base of the 15c stamp is hard to see, and the pale pink of the $2 stamp does not work so well either, although the pink stamp looks a lot better in actuality, as the scanner seems to have failed to capture its true pinkness.

![]() Occussi-Ambeno 1990 Zeppelin Round-the-world flight, with INVERTED overprint. The Round-the-world flight of one of Occussi-Ambeno's helium-filled zeppelin fleet in 1990 was a major public relations event in the Fifth World, and commemorative stamps were issued by a number of countries. Sadly, the overprinting (on Occussi-Ambeno's "Mutiny on the Bounty" 90c commemorative from the year previous) was a tad rushed, and some stamps had the overprints inverted. For more details on Swiftair, the Occussi-Ambeno zeppelin airline, please see their website: http://geocities.ws/swiftair/

AWESOME Bruce, this might be the best ever stamp you have ever produced, a bit of a pity about the rushed inverted overprint, but at least they got it square!!!
Fantastic work!!!
