† The "types" refer to detail variations in the original US stamps, see US catalogue listings. These are the Scott [1] types: Gibbons [2] distinguishes some variations but less precisely than Scott.
‡ Overprint R(ed) or B(lack). Sc1-13 are horizontal, Sc-E1 the only diagonal o/p.
This is the complete list of stamps from Guam.
One of the Mariana islands in the Pacific Ocean, the U.S.S. Charleston captured Guam in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The island remained under US Navy control (apart from Japanese occupation during WW2, 1941-44) until 1950 when it became an unincorporated territory of the US. US stamps have been used since 1901.
