    An odd item indeed !
    The sheet contains four labels,what seem to be no postage stamps.
    They neither show any value,nor the country name.
    In the net the official announcement from the U.A.R. post office
    is about four stamps of different face values.But no mentioning
    of a souvenir sheet.I wonder why.

    Hello all, this item was originally listed on this website but appears to have been removed.

    https://www.briefmarken-sieger.de/b...igte-arabische-emirate/blocks-postfrisch.html

    There appears to be a value 10 AED (2.72 us$) on this cinderella sheet but not the individual lables.

    Regards, James.

    Perhaps the sheet costs 10 Dirhams and the franking value is zero.
    That would be the ultimate idea to milk the stupid stamp-collectors,
    without any risk,that someone might actually use such products for postage.
    Obviously the U.A.E. is one more stamp-issuing country,to be
    avoided.

    I don't know if I can name these stamps odd or unusual but it is not what you would expect for sure. It represents the traditional clothes of my country!

    The denomination is in the bottom left corner. I too had the same doubt, but I heard from one philatelists that few countries are not mentioning the rate of the stamps in Miniature sheets, because of two reasons.

    1. To differentiate singles from Miniature ones
    2. If at all you want to use it, you have to use the full MS, can't take out the stamps and use it.

    In India we usually take out the stamps from MS and use them on the mails.

    But I am not sure.

    Thanks

    Flower scented stamp from Malaysia.
    Shown below are miniature sheets from the two different series issued by Malaysia. The second M/S shows Red Hybrid Tea Rose in a heart shaped scented stamp.

    aaab.jpg
    stamps were issued 1984,letter sent Sept.1987 (?)
    It seems to me,that the postal clerks in Nuku`alofa did not
    notice that stamps for 7 Sene only were affixed.By no way
    sufficient for a letter to Europe.
