International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Egypt

Egypt

Egypt was one of the earliest countries to use a postage meter. For a short period in 1922 a Moss (New Zealand) machine was used by the National Bank of Egypt in Cairo. Postage meters were not used again until 1933.

All stamps are inscribed “EGYPT”, “EGYPTE”, “ARE”, “RAE”, “RAU”, “UAR”, or have Arabic script without Western inscription. Few stamps have a meter number (M#) but many have a License number (L#), in Arabic.

Although manufactured in Germany, the Nessim machine (Type PV1) was invented and used only in Egypt.

The stamps are grouped according to political period and inscription.

A - Kingdom of Egypt, 1922 – 1953

B - Republic of Egypt, 1953 – 1958

C - United Arab Republic, 1958 – 1971

D - Arab Republic of Egypt, 1971 – present

Many Egyptian meter stamps have doubled value figures, with Arabic over Western numerals (technically Eastern Arabic over Western Arabic). This catalog represents the Arabic zero as ““.

GROUP A: Kingdom of Egypt, 1922-1952

• All franks, except Type A1, have a crown and Arabic tougra (monogram) in the design. Two tougras exist as follows:

Stamps in reverse order, 2 mills at right, 50 mills at left

A1. Moss Model “D” (FV-5), 27 February 1922.

One machine only with different frank design for each denomination:

A. 2 mills (square) [$300]

B. 4 mills (tombstone) [Used examples unknown, proof $150]

C. 5 mills (indented curves) [$150]

D. 10 mills (squared circle) [$150]

E. 50 mills (triangles) [Extremely rare, only 3 examples known, value unknown]

Separate panel at bottom contains the denomination spelled out.

Meter number “2” in center circle of each value.

Printed in red-pink.

In use only one month, 27 February to 31 March 1922.

TM: nil

NOTE: Proofs of these stamps exist. Proofs of the 2 and 50 mill stamps are far more common than postally used examples and worth less than the stated values. Proofs of the 5 and 10 mill stamps are somewhat scarcer than postally used examples. As stated above, postally used examples of the 4 mill stamp have not been found although they may exist.

A2. Neopost (LV-3), 1933. [$50]

NOTE: The illustration shows a proof. The spacing between the town mark and frank is much narrower than found on the actual stamp.

A3. Neopost (LV-6), 1934. [$10]
