;) ;) | OBUASSI, Gold Coast postmark large part purple oval d/ring part dated OCT 1901 showing trace of wording WEST AFRICA at lower right on QV 3d (SG.29), previously unrecorded. The text "WEST AFRICA" - I suspect - may have something to do with the fact that the cancellation was used by the "Ashanti Goldfields Corporation," which also mined gold in other parts of West Africa (e.g., in french territories like Mali and Ivory Coast). A similar three-lined oval cancellation is also used, for example, by the "NIGER COMPANY CHARTERED" in Akassa (Niger Territories). The Ashanti Goldfields Corporation is a gold mining company based in Gold Coast that was founded by Joseph Ellis and Joseph Biney both from Cape Coast. The Ashanti Mine, located at Obuas(s)i, 56 km south of Kumasi, has been producing since 1897. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Ashanti Goldfields Corporation was one of the most important gold mining companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. £300 |
