This complete definitive set from North Borneo, issued between 1950 and 1952, features King George VI alongside local landscapes, industries, and cultural motifs that provide a vivid portrait of colonial Borneo in the mid-20th century. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd. using high-quality recess printing, the series illustrates themes such as coconut groves, logging at Sandakan, Mount Kinabalu, Bajau horsemen, native prahu boats, and traditional Bajau chiefs, reflecting both the economic resources and ethnographic richness of the region. The values range from 1 cent to 2 dollars, covering the full spectrum of postal needs during the period. The stamps are recess-printed in multiple colors with a perforation of 13½ and retain their original gum, in mint never hinged condition. Catalog references include Michel NB 223–235, Stanley Gibbons NB 332–344, and Scott NB 253–265. This set stands as one of the most iconic issues of North Borneo under British colonial administration and is highly sought after for both its aesthetic appeal and historical context. Estimate "$150 – 200". Condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH), fresh colors, intact perforations, original gum.
