Didn't Know They Exist ----Fake /Reprinted Christmas Seals

As a collector of everything in my worldwide collection here is something I never heard of or seen before .

That is interesting. They look nice.

I hope Jay Smith marked these on the back.

Is there any way to tell them from the originals? Color, perfs, other marking

Since these are very modern printings (color photocopies?) they are in all likelihood printed on a bright paper stock. Examining an original seal with one the reprints would show the big difference in old vs. new paper types.

Also, one of the original seals had to be scanned to create the reprint. So, there would be differences in details and colors no matter how skilled the creator is.

If the reprints were made with older technology, an original seal would still have to be photographed, and color separations would have to be made. They would be different from the original seals.

These have been reprinted officially and should have the word "REPRINT", in English, along with the year, printed on the back of each seal.

'Nytryk' means reprint n Danish. All classic Danish Christmas Seals exist in 'Nytryk' sheets like these.

If you are interested in Christmas Seals .... the man that bought out the companies complete inventory now has a site you check with him on about any questions about them. He and his son operate their business in Granville, Ohio.
