FIND CAMEROON STAMPS AND POSTAL COLLECTIBLES FOR SALE

Cameroon’s postal history began in 1887, when Germany, who had established a trading post at Douala in 1868, began using German stamps. Kamerun, as it was then spelled, became a full-fledged German colony. In 1897 Germany began overprinting Kamerun on their stamps. These are the earliest Cameroon rare stamps available for collectors today.

The first stamps issued solely for Cameroon came in 1900. Using the pfennig as their currency, German-issued Kamerun stamps had a nautical theme, depicting ships on the high seas in a variety of striking colors and beautiful designs. Germany’s Kamerun stamp issues continued in this vein until World War I.

After World War I, the colony was split between France and Britain. The British used stamps from colonial Nigeria in what they now called Cameroons. In 1960 they began overprinting these stamps with CAMEROONS U.K.T.T. (a reference to United Kingdom Trust Territory).
