The A-B-C classical stamps (To 1952) Game
The intent is to share the diversity and beauty of our WW collections of classical stamps by uploading by alphabet.

I started with an Austrian stamp,the next would be a "B" country, and so forth. One can ignore "x", as there are no countries that begin with it.

When one gets to "Z', "A" begins again.

One might also have to be quick with the scans to get the next alphabet country in before the next SCFer.

(But kibitzing, conversation, and leisurely admiration is encouraged also.)

Ready,Set,Begin!......

I see your Austria and raise you a Bosnia:

Canada 1934 3c blue "Cartier's Arrival at Quebec"

Nice Bosnia, but here is -not the bluenose- but close- Canada!

Well, what about D for Denmark ?

Ecudaor 1939 Scott 380 1s dull violet "Wrestlers"

Note the smokers around ringside?

Denmark noted, but here is Ecuador!

I guess F stands for fabulous Fournier forgery of Finnish stamp, LOL

or France

Which brings us nicely to Gold Coast

Germany Scott 63 2m gray blue 'Union of North and South Germany"

Taking advantage of "Germany", rather than "Deutschland"...

Tell me more about the Finnish forgery?

(Edit: Too late for "G", but nice stamp anyway, wouldn't you agree? )

I supose that we're using the English names of the countries. So, let's have Greece (otherwise, it should be "Hellas").

Hungary C28 1933 20f carmine "Worker welcoming plane, double cross and sun rays

"H" is for Hungary.

Italy

Iceland/Island
Works both ways



Curses, Cursus, you beat me to it

J for Jamaica

K for Kiautschou (pre 1914, German China)
