Se Tenants

TWO CORRECTIONS!! Huh, huh...I love this. Thanks everybody, especially to Sue Stamps for planting the seed.

Here is one more from cold Russia.

...and now what would we call this?

Hope I get this right - Se-Tenant Composite Design

Leipziger Messe 1987



and 5 stamps from Polen in a row? Composite Cincopitch?

....and from 1976 Bicentennical the 50 state flags in a sheet (had to split to scan)

I call this set of stamps: Just Beautiful!

We gave an example of a Se-Tenant Triptic yesterday I believe. But so much is happening it's hard to keep up !
I think a 'triptic' is more commonly called a strip, so any number of different stamps in a row would be called a Se-Tenant Strip.




Fun indeed. But how can a strip be a block ?

fifia,

Your USSR example is a Tete-Beche, Se-Tenant Block of 6.
The Polish strip is a Se-Tenant strip of 5 of composite design.
The Leipziger Messe is a Miniature Sheet.

...and yes, the Sheet of State Flags is absolutely lovely. One of my first Flag purchases and still one of my favourite Flag items.
It's a Se-Tenant sheet of 50 !

Interesting sheet wt1!
I will pass judgement on this one as it's self-adhesive and while they are positioned in interesting ways [Se-Tenant and not], I am of the belief that they are not joined. [They aren't but some will include them and some won't].
My Tete-Beche collection is made up of only water-activated items.

Londonbus1.....of course, I may change sides !

Thanks, Londonbus. I printed out your comments for a cheat sheet
to check in the future.

Here is the Monaco strip. There are 3 stamps which would make it
a Se-Tenant Strip...



CORRECTION. The Russian example are 8 stamps so it would be a
Se-Tenant Block of 8.

Thanks again. I will scan some more later....

Here is another composite sheet from the Munich Olympics.





What you think?

Just a personal thought shared, a sheet of stamps having ALL stamps different, such as the flag eg, is not a genuine eg of Se-tenant - rather bush slang where the persons meaning is understood by the experienced collector.

Again I re-visited the Australian Stamp Bulletins - technical release information, and a strip of 5 forming 'one continuous picture'(scene) is not referred to as Se-tenant. Se-tenant is 2 different stamp pictures joined. "Se-tenant Format" is A.P.'s meaning for those 2 different stamps arranged 1,2,1,2,1,2 etc Horizontal or Vertical.

finches,

Yes, we are forgetting that Philatelic Terminology does differ from nation to nation.
What we are seeing on this thread is an interesting mix of terms, some of which are new to me.

It is most enlightening.

Thanks for posting.

Correction !

It is a Tete-Beche Se-Tenant block of 6 which you have scanned lying on it's side !
It consists of 4 Triangular stamps and two diamond-shaped stamps, the latter being partly perfed across the centre.

Wow ! This is fun isn't it.



Londonbus1....well, I am ecstatic [and it's mine, not Cjd's]

fifia,

Your latest offering is a Miniature sheet [composite design].
It reminds me that in exactly 1 month from today, I will be leaving home for a flight to........MUNICH !

You see, ecstatic again !

Londonbus1

Londonbus1, yes I see your point - different countries varied terms.

PS. Gee those stamps/Cinderella's must sell well to enable Munich trips. You should come-on down to Gods pristine country. [||

Yes I should....one day.
But I promised my daughter some snow before she goes to do her Army service so it's the Bavarian Alps on the way to see Mum [90 years old] for Christmas in England !



Oh dear, it's that Banana again !

Londonbus1....polishing his Toboggan.

Ok..you win this one. I did not see that.

At one time I worked for BMW and took business trips to the Munich Headquarters. Was nice. Very nice. Enjoy your trip. The Christmas (Hanukah) Markets should be in full force. Take warm cloth.

Safe travels....

Yes, the Christmas Market in Munich is wonderful, so full of atmosphere.
Plus, there is a great Stamp Shop by the Hauptbahnhof !

We will also be going to Salzburg which has the biggest Christmas Market in Europe [so I'm told].

.....plus the snow ! Yippeeeeee!

Londonbus1...Brrrrrr!
