July Club meeting: “British Commonwealth Omnibus Issues” by Dennis Chow
The British omnibus issues have been particularly associated with stamps from the former British Empire, now being British Commonwealth, because of many territories taking part. At early stage, designs were the same for each colony with only the colors, values and colony names being different. Later, a wider range of designs were used within the same issue. The first issue was the Silver Jubilee of 1935. Others have followed, normally on themes related to British Royal Family, but also for topics like Red Cross Centenary (1963) and World Health Organization (1966). Actually, not every colony needs to participate in every issue, but the income produced by the stamps is a valuable source of revenue for many smaller colonies/countries which may have less other ways of fund raising. Officially, from 1935 to 1997, there were 29 British Commonwealth Omnibus sets issued, of which Hong Kong participated in the following 20 issues:-
