The Stamps Of Lithuania.

I'll post more pages as I get them designed and populated.

OK, here are a few more. This collection has been a real pain to work with, each stamp included has had six or more hinges on the back. It look like the original collector moved them from page to page by cutting loose the old hinge and applying a new one. Since many of the stamp are unused I've been doing the whole paintbrush to wet the front side, then wait for the stack of hinges to loosen before peeling them off process. Short of dumping them all together with the used and soaking everything else off, what do others do with unused examples with multiple hinges?
Anyway, the Berlin issues:

And onward, I'm building up quite the pile of used hinges after dealing with all these. In volume I think there is close to as big of a pile as the actual stamps are.
Second Anniversary of Independence:

Inauguration of the National Assembly:

Inauguration Special Issues, Kaunas Prints of the Berlin Issues:

First and Second Airmail Issues:

First Official Definitive Issues:

As you can see, I'm woefully short on the National Assembly Special Issues (no surprise there) and also of the Kaunas Issues, there were several in the collection, all misidentified. :(

Don't have many duplicates; but if anyone needs anything to fill a hole, send a message to me. Be glad to send you what might help.

Found a site from a dealer I just purchased some Lithuanian stamps from. Worth checking out for those still hunting: http://lituanica.eu/

Second purchase from Antanas; no issues at all.

HI Andy
Just saw ur post - let me check my Lithuania and see if I have any holes to fill. Do you know any dealers who sell Latvia and Estonia as well.

Thanks
Rich

Sorry Rich, Have just been exploring Lithuania at present.

Well, as you can see I definitely needs some of that first definitive set. :) PM me for an address if you wish to help out. My goal is typically one each used and unused for each issue, and as you can see I include different perforations as different issues...

Billsey, I only collect unused; with a few exceptions so cannot help on the used end, but you are welcome to anything you see at no charge. Would just ask that you let me know what it is that you want.

Be glad to check paper types/perfs and so on if you have any questions. You do have to send an email via this site though; cannot post it here.

Andyrich74 I sent you a couple of emails via the board, though I got cutoff in the second because I was apparently taking too long...
Here are the next couple of pages I've got ready:
1922 First Surcharges and Air Post Issues

1922 De Jure Issues

I've no idea why the collection was missing that airmail set, it doesn't look like it is terribly expensive and they issued over 100,000 of them. It will just have to go on my 'to be purchased' list... Maybe because they are triangular?

Sheesh, it's been a while since I last posted and there have been lots of changes to my pages. Here's the link again, https://billsey.seymourfamily.com/L...huania01.htm What used to take something like 12 pages now fills a full 16 page frame, plus one page into the second frame. I picked up the excellent catalog from Antanas Jankauskas and from that was able to straighten out the correct (or close to it) perforation varieties. I'm now, finally ready to dive into the new currency overprints, and their perf varieties. It looks initially like there will be six or eight pages, but I might have to expand even that when I get to the end of the 1922 definitive surcharges...

I finally got an example of the rare De Jure issue, and that's reflected on the site. Here are the pages for the new currency overprints, less the airmails (which I have none):





Now on to a bunch more hinge soaking... I'm still averaging around 6-7 hinges per stamp

Billsey, were you able to "use" any of the stamps I sent you?

I just came across this topic this morning. I collect world-wide airmail stamps. I have been finishing up the page design for Lithuania and thought I could post a couple of examples of my collection for your interest. If anyone has an extra mint copy of Scott #C28 please let me know. Also looking for mint copies of #C16 (Type I) and the Type II varieties of #C14-16. Thanks -Terry.

Barhata I'm concerned about the two 20 Cent. overprints on that last page. All the images I see in the catalogs have the text much thicker than your two, more in linbe with the rest of your examples.
