Different Shapes Not Just Rectangles

Are there any more examples of stamps with different shapes.
I do not want squares/rectangles or triangles like we are used to seeing. Stamps like the following;

This US issue should fit the thread -- a set of 5 pentagon-shaped stamps!

A variety of shapes perpetrated on innocent philatelists by nameless numpties who pretend to know what is in good taste and aesthetically pleasing.



Should you wish, you could also adorn the varied fruit and veg with the stickers provided thus proving just how clever they really were to release this issue.

...and here's one I made earlier...

Do a search for odd shape stamps and many threads will come up. Here are a couple of old ones to start.

Here's two sets from Canada - Youth Sports & Wine and Cheese.

Hey, Stampgal, that's neat!

Search on Stamp Community for the word hexagon also for some hex shaped stamps.
Kenya 2009 hexagon shaped stamps:
(Pic from ebay, I don't have any yet)


Macau hexagon shaped stamps, 8 sets of 8 per year to make up pictures of the I Ching (total 64 stamps):



And if you want to stray outside the strictly 'postage stamp only' collecting confines, then you can also try the Belgium telegraph stamps (pic from somewhere?):



And don't forget odd-shaped cancels either. They exist as pentagons, hexagons, octagons, wavey lined circles, etc.

Yes, but it can get kids involved in playing with/appreciating stamps.

1775mac - thanks for the link. Did not realize that the correct term was "oddball".

Kids cannot afford to collect GB stamps any more. It used to be definitives and commemoratives and the occasional special issue. Now it is at least three versions of everything and a special sheet and Smilers and Greetings and... on and on. Many stamps cannot be bought over the counter these days. My buying of GB issues is vastly reduced anyway.

Mostly true worldwide. But this doesn't have to stop a collector on his or her mission to collect what they can.

You collect what you can and be happy with it and fill in the holes (if needed) later on when you can.

Here is one from Russia. Issued in mini sheets (9 stamps) that served
as decorative holders for the self-adhesives.

Here are some "droplet" shaped stamps from Qatar commemorating the 10 Anniversary of Rasgas, a nationally owned natural gas company.

One of six designs from the 2009 commemorative Charles Darwin issue (UK):



Cancelled in Glasgow. Socked on the nose

Can anyone post the other five, and complete the jigsaw?
