Se Tenants

Another superb thread in a week of superb threads !




I am already crazy !
So don't worry.

Cjd's/Linn's slant on the Stamp with label seems good...




The word label would need to be stated I believe.




I took this to mean the two labels together and not with a stamp




Thisa is how I see it too. It appears that it's a case of terminology being different from one side of the world to the other, from one catalogue to the other and to each his own.
We found this out in other threads during the last few days.






Mmmm! Interesting thought.
This one is not a Se-Tenant but it has been made to look a bit like it. A Semi-Postal with simulated perfs, the two values on either side made to like two seperate stamps !!

Just another spin on the term "se-tenant", as described in the "free" Stanley Gibbons booklet posted on another thread:

http://www.stanleygibbons.com/media...OKLET.pdf%20

In page 3 of that booklet it specifically refers to "stamps" (only):

A nice Se-Tenant from the nature, a block of 4.


...and the real thing from our back yard. It took'm a week to catch
him.

I take issue with Stanley Gibbons' definition of se-tenant...




What they describe is a subset of a larger group. Yes, many (most?) composite designs are probably se-tenant, but not all se-tenant stamps are designed to be seen together.

We can (and have, in this thread) come up with lots of examples where there is no component of stamps "designed to be seen together." Putting one different value in a booklet pane to round to a convenient price for purchase will result in se-tenant stamps, but those stamps are not designed to be seen together (in the way they mean it).

Se-Tenant Block of 4

Here's an unusual one ... a se-tenant hologram. Did anyone other than the US ever issue se-tenant holograms on stamps?

Pretty sure Netherlands 1026a would be se-tenant holograms.

Not sure about Canada 1442a...at least one is a hologram...both? [nope...only 1442 is a hologram; the se-tenant stamp is a regular issue] I don't have them. (They're space-related, too.)

Here is the Netherlands pane:



This is a 1999 I Love Stamps issue.

Here's another US space issue likely to put a "wrench" in the subject of se-tenant stamps. When you have a pentagon-shaped stamp and it is attached only in the one corner, is it se-tenant? If you were to tear apart this sheetlet and keep the unperforated portion of paper next to each stamp, would it be considered se-tenant? Or if you chose to keep the blank pentagonal center label attached to two or more of the actual stamps, would it be a se-tenant with gutter label?

these are pairs?









The Kabe Album Company published these privately issued stamps for Day of the Postage Stamp, 10 January 1937.
