I picked up these with a Belgium lot I got off of ebay a few years ago. I'm working through my Belgium collection and am looking for some more information on these. Specifically: are they common, possible CV value or any other information you might have. Thanks! Wolf-==-

Those stamps you have are called Reclamezegels or pubs (advertisment stamps). The stamps you have are worth mostly 1,75€  Included a part of the offical belgian stamp catalog with your stamps The one on the left is PU85, on the right, the first 3 top to bottom: PU81, PU94 and PU83. The other stamps on the right top to bottom: PU86, PU91 and PU93 |

Hello Vincentvriends, Are there used or older copies of your catalog readily available in Belgium? I would like to get one that shows the varieties of different issues but the cost of shipping and new catalog is too high. |

Kelump, shipping belgium stamp catalogs is a rather expensive because they are very heavy (because they are printed in two languages in the same book, dutch and french). I still have an old catalog here and thought about scanning it but I still have a scanning issue to address. Maybe you van use the online catalogus on https://www.stampworld.com. This online catalog only list the main issues I'm afraid, I'm not sure where you (in the united states) can find a cheap belgian catalog. |

Thanks, stampworld has a nice website, but your right, they don't list the varieties of stamps. |

littleriverphil, that one is the official catalog from 2018, they decided to split the catalog this year. Part 1 is actual belgian stamp catalog (in dutch and french) and part 2 are the colonies. The link you posted is overpriced in my opinion. The official sell price (in Belgium) is 32,90 euro (+/- 41$). |

Maybe I can help you with this one:  It's a free basic catalog the postal services of Belgium gave away in 2002. It doesn't contain all the special stamps like the official catalog does but it contains the following: - Stamp 1849 till 2002 - Express stamps - Service stamps - Tax stamps - Telephone stamps - Air mail stamps - Railway stamps you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MY...?usp=sharing |

If you have a newer Windows version, you can just double-click the downloaded file and run the installer (setup.exe) in the Installation folder Please note that the disk was made for a very old windows/MAC version so there can be some trouble there. It's also possible to burn the downloaded ISO file to an empty CD with a burning program like Imgburn. I'm not 100% sure how it just works because I normally don't have it installed on my pc (I installed it yesterday just to check if it still works but my paper catalog is newer so I always use that one) |

Thanks, my computer W7 has not access to setup, so I'll burn a disk and copy to HDD.

I downloaded the disk and it didn't work very well on my MAC. I'll try putting it on a disk. |
