This historic stamp from Togo features a bold black overprint “TOGO” applied to a French West Africa colonial issue. The base design shows a local worker climbing a palm tree, framed with intricate African-inspired patterns. Originally inscribed “Afrique Occidentale Française”, these provisional overprints were issued after World War I when Togo came under French administration. Such overprints are highly collectible, as they represent transitional postal history during a period of territorial reorganization. A key piece for collectors interested in French colonial philately and West African postal issues.
