What intrigues me about Tunisian post-independence stamps is that many of them were designed by local artists. Much as I love the work of the major French designers such as Gandon who did magnificent work for the former colonies, I wonder how many of them looked to their own artists.
I collect each country, dead or alive, but focus on France, French African colonies, older German area, allegorical men, carnivorous plants, Vikings, rock art, engraved pictorials.
I was pleased to find these in a small mixed lot last week:
These were some of Tunisia's first postage dues, created by perforating the current definitives with a large "T" made up of large round holes.
They're not scarce but these are the first ones in my collection.
Like many other perfins, most values were created by folding the panes so that half of the stamps had the "T" inverted such as the last two stamps here.
The first three Tunisia sets were treated this way and the ones above are a mixture from the second and third sets.
The 15 centime stamp is the quadrillé paper version.
These were eventually replaced by the 1901-03 set which was based on a French postage due design but inscribed, "REGENCE DE TUNIS":
