Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 5:34 pm So - the way I see it and by looking up historical maps of Africa, the British East Africa region of 1936 is now what is currently know as Kenya as indicated by this map: I find Several guess in The continent of Africa: Cameroon British West Africa Madagascar Southern Rhodesia Zambia and Ghana So I see that the closest 2 would be Zambia and Southern Rhodesia. Kenya is North-East of Zambia and Southern Rhodesia is South of Zambia So it would appear that the Person who guessed Zambia wins that portion of the contest so Congrats to jason39305 - For getting the correct DATE!! (1936) (1st Prize) Hondo Boguss - for guessing the closest to my country of choice (British East Africa of 1936 era (2nd Prize) So I' now await for the 2 winners to please send me a private message with your particular information and I'll get these prizes in the mail.. CONGRATS to you two - and thanks to everyone else that took place in my contest.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 8:02 pm Quote: What do you think about me posting up the answer half a month ago? Seems fine to me. You post fairly heavily--a few dozen every day. I can't imagine dredging through all those posts of yours trying to find a hint from several weeks ago. Take this as a win. You did great!
