Thought id post what im getting ready to start on next. Gonna be fun! Surprised to see some Thuringen stamps as I was stumped by these earlier.... Even have another perfin to add o the collection - though a common one - the 20 pfg Bayern.
The 20 pfg Bayern stamp perfin ("E") is actually a Railroad stamp and is listed as such in Michel (and maybe Scott, too).
You easily have 11-12 different collecting areas shown in your one photo. There's going to be a lot of page turning of the catalog to find them all. Have fun!
Right on the page turning! I think I already have one of these "E" Bayern's.... This is the last German bunch that was left to me. The pages are definitely getting used!
so heres the 1st difference I noticed. Scott 89, the 2.50k, is suppose to be dull lilac blue. These dont look blue to me or even close. The rose brn next to it is spot on to me, but not the other 2 ???
They are listed in Michel as local stamps so you won't find them in Scott. Finsterwalde, and approximately 30-40 other towns, issued stamps immediately after WWII for local use as the previous national stamps were no longer valid. Unused stamps are common, with minimal value (though not all). Legitimately used stamps, especially on cover, are usually highly desirable.
