Hindenburg Stamp Pane Of Mint Stamps

Can anyone please inform me what is the Scott # for this mint strip of German President Hindenburg stamps?They are in mint condition with original gum and never hinged. Do not know if they are common or not. Are there a series with these specific stamps?

Hi

The strip you have scanned is from a booklet pane. There were multiple types, but, you need a Michel Catalogue to pick out which one it is because of the different combinations of face values and different advertising labels with them as well.

Chimo

Bujutsu

I have heard that this set's gum contains sulfuric acid, as is the case with other German stamps.

Is this true?

Would it be best, to soak off the gum so as not to have the stamps breakdown overtime due to an adverse chemical reaction?

Thank you so much for your response. Will view Michel
Cat about these booklet panes, did not see them in Scotts. appreciate the information. smiles

yuck stampalotapus..don't like the smell of rotten eggs. no no no..I donot plan to lick the back of them at all..hahahaha....but seriously, excellent question to ask..

Actually, if we want to be technical, it is hydrogen sufflide smells like the rotten eggs.. sulfuric doesnot have a smell..It more can burn nose and make watery eyes..still do not want to experience it..no Thank you..hahahaha

I found this thread referencing different Hindenburg (airmails actually) & the OSTROPO souvenir sheet...

I'm guessing if they have remained in pristine condition for 75+ years they ought to last you some time.

Scott only list the individual stamps, they don't list strips like these. I recently acquired a Michel catalog but it's in German and I'm not quite proficient yet in deciphering their listings for strips such as these. There are other people here who know Michel backward and forward that can probably quote the catalog# and value. I can comment to say that these stamps don't have sulfuric acid in their gum - that was the Ostropa sheet and one other airmail issue.

Actually, these are stamps sold from vending machines... not quite booklet stamps, and not quite coils.

According to the 2007 English version of Michel, "This strip was sold in bags from automatic vending machines, the unit identification sheet at Philatelic Sales window."

The issue date is July 1939, and it catalogs at $2.00 US in MNH condition. The full sheet is two of these strips wide (with the second strip upside down), and ten vertical rows. The full sheet catalogs $70.00 in MNH condition.

As bookbndrbob stated, these strips were dispensed from vending machines. In German, they are called Einheitsgeberstreifen (EG-Str.), or donor strips. This one is Michel EG-Str. 1. Michel 2015 CV is €4 for MNH.

The strips are also commonly found in uncut sheets, or Einheitsgeberbogen (EGB).

Here's an overview from my site.

The glue on these is safe to leave intact.

Thank you Dr. Bob for the information from Michel's pertaining to values of it. I did not purchase the full sheet, however, will check again when see the vendor on my stamp adventures.

Thank you PostMaster..excellent website.It is very informative and impressive.I will definitely look at it again! smiles
