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 PdotK
Another Coffee scented stamp, this time it is from my own country. It is a staple beverage of Southern India. Issued on 23rd April 2017. I have few spare MSs if any friends here is interested in swap, please let me know.
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. Thanks PdotK http://philateli.blogspot.in/
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.
Another nice one from Tonga, Indeed. Have to find a way to get Tonga stamps. Thanks for sharing Werner. May I know which country you are from, Sir!
Maps on stamps is an interesting collection. Below souvenir sheet is embossed and has the texture of feathers. The Miniature sheet was issued on 13th January 2013 in Malaysia.
Hi fishmonk! Thanks! All my collections are either from swap or direct purchase from PB. This Malaysian MS is from Swap. Thanks PdotK
I got these Pandas of Mali from a friend. I searched the web, but couldn't find the issue date or any other information on the net. If any of know any information about these MSs please share. Thanks PdotK
Date of issue: The issue date appears to be 2015. I do not have a current catalogue for the Republic of Mali. I do have a listing for Panda's though. Date of issue: 1996-09-02 Regards, James.
