The Nyassa Company (Portuguese: Companhia do Nyassa), sometimes spelled Niassa, was a royal company in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique, then known as Portuguese East Africa, which, between 1891 and 1929, held the concession of the lands that constitute the present-day pro  More

Stamps from Niassa

Niassa

At the time it issued a total of 141 stamps, although only a small percentage of these were ever issued for actual postal use in Nyassa, the rest were created to take advantage of a thriving philatelic market for the London region's stamps.

The Nyassa Company's first proper stamps were two series, both issued in Nyassa in 1898. The first of this series was an earlier Mozambique issue from 1893, depicting a portrait of King Carlos I of Portugal, overprinted with the word "Nyassa" .

The second was an overprint of the standard stamps of Portugal issued for use in each of its African colonies. These were printed in sheets and each sheet was then overprinted with the name of the respective colony - as a result, the stamps were initially overprinted with the word "Mozambique" for use in that colony.

It was not until 1901 that the Nyassa Company arranged for the printing and release of Nyassa's own stamps.

On October 27, 1929, the Portuguese government refused to grant an extension to the concession and the Nyassa Company was abolished.

- first issue own stamp 1901.
-Postal region of Mozambique, own stamps until 1924.

In die tijd gaf het in totaal 141 postzegels uit, hoewel slechts een klein percentage hiervan ooit werd uitgegeven voor daadwerkelijk postgebruik in Nyassa, de rest werd gecreëerd om te profiteren van een bloeiende filatelistische markt voor de postzegels van de regio in Londen.

De eerste echte postzegels van de Nyassa Company waren twee series, beide uitgegeven in Nyassa in 1898. De eerste van deze serie was een eerder Mozambique-nummer uit 1893, met een portret van koning Carlos I van Portugal, overdrukt met het woord "Nyassa".

De tweede was een overdruk van de standaardzegels van Portugal die werden uitgegeven voor gebruik in elk van zijn Afrikaanse koloniën. Deze werden in vellen gedrukt en elk vel werd vervolgens overdrukt met de naam van de betreffende kolonie - als gevolg hiervan werden de postzegels aanvankelijk overdrukt met het woord "Mozambique" voor gebruik in die kolonie.

Pas in 1901 regelde de Nyassa Company het drukken en vrijgeven van Nyassa's eigen postzegels.

Op 27 oktober 1929 weigerde de Portugese regering een verlenging van de concessie te verlenen en werd de Nyassa Company afgeschaft.

-eerste uitgifte eigen postzegel 1901.

-Postaal gewest van Mozambique , eigen zegels tot 1924.
