Se Tenants

I like this one. ...an ant hill.

2002


Red Wood Ant - Formica rufa (Formicidae)

What do we call this one. Up side down se-tenant?

Where is Londonbus1? since he got back there is silence. He must be sorting stamps....

Albrecht Dürer. Se-tenant set of stamps depicting Dürer- Engravings



These include his woodcut series the Apocalypse (1498) and the engravings Large Fortune (1501-1502) and Adam and Eve (1504). Collectively these works and others of the period show his increasing technical mastery of the woodcut and engraving media, his understanding of human proportions based on passages by the ancient Roman writer Vitruvius, and his brilliant ability to incorporate the details of nature into believable pictures of reality.

Nice story, Se-tenant composition.

Not really a Se-tenant but I like this stamp...clean cut..clear message..

and it is China today

On December 12, 2010, China National Philatelic Corporation issued a set of one first-day cover carrying a two-piece set of special stamps, "China's Capital Market", with a total face value of 2.40 yuan. The pictures on the stamps are named:"Developing China's Capital Market" and "Serving the National Economy".

A Se-tenant with a spelling error.....

A setenant from Sweden (I didn't even know I had it until I just sorted through some worldwide stamps tonight):

I want to say what a wonderful job fifia has done with a number of excellent threads on our forum.
This one is now 15 pages long and still going strong. Thanks to fifia for working so hard and showing some great Se-tenants.






My apologies but the collection I have been sorting has taken most of my free time but I am nearing an end to making order so will return to other threads soon.
I miss them and especially this one which is becoming a great resource of the 'Worlds Se-Tenant stamps'.

Thanks fifia

From Londonbus1

Thanks Londonbus1....you are too kind. I love my Se-tenants...

I just miss you and your good comments but understand. I need to spend sometime sorting myself.

Good to have you back.

I forgot how irritating politics can get....
Here a little more positive Yankee Doodle..



The painting, by Archibald M. Willard, originally was called Yankee Doodle, but that was changed to The Spirit of '76 because it matched the title of a song written c. 1750 by a physician in the British army at Albany, NY. Painted for the 1876 American Revolution centennial, the painting was purchased by the father of the boy who was used as the model for the drummer boy and presented to the town of Marblehead, MA.

To honor our new friend from India..
he has two vv in his name...

This post has more than documented the fact that for a stamp to be considered "setenant" it must be attached to the stamp next to it of a different design.

Fast forward to 2012 and how does one define the new Spectrum Eagle Coils or 45c Weathervane Coil Stamps? Both are of multiple designs but are attached to liner paper and have intentional spacing between the stamps, presumably for automated affixing of the stamps to mail. Would these stamps be considered setenant so long as the backing paper is attached to the stamps or would the fact that they are spaced on the backing paper make that definition inappropriate?

Thanks wt1. I am no expert on the subject, I just collect them.

Londonbus1 is the specialist.

My first Se-tenant purchase. A Palm tree in Hamburg? A Humbug?



I guess I am hooked

Germany 1933 Wagner Opera Flying Dutchman

This is a 2009 issue commemorating 150 Years of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Shown on the composite are some well-loved features of the gardens- the sculpture 'Girl on a Swing'by British sculptor Sydney Harpley, the Visitor Centre, the Swan Lake, & the national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim. I have also shown this set in my Orchids of Singapore thread.

I'm sorry to say that the pair of Swedish stamps are not actually "se tenant", but a part of a 6 stamps 1985 booklet, showing old shop sights.
