Used Greenland Stamps On Steiner Pages

These lockdown weeks I had time to properly mount my small Greenland used collection. I hope, you'll enjoy them

Nice pages.

Yes, lovely pages.
I was wondering, are you choosing 45 degree segment postmarks, amongst multiples? or would they be CTO (Cancelled to order)

The regimentation looks impressive.

Thank you all.

When I bought the stamps, about 30 years ago, I did just as "used stamps". They might, as well, be CTO (specially the higher values).
It's also true, that the postal administrations of this area used to be very careful when cancelling stamps. But it is also, that the small population of Greenland (56.000) hardly can justify the non-scarcity of used Greenland stamps on the market.
Exactly the same as with most Swiss "Pro-patria" and Pro-juventute" issues.

Anyway, they're just some nice stamps to be seen.

Another page



My idea, is to upload a page every day.

Being a European collector, I don't put the charity stamps ("semi-postals" for Scott) at the end, but I rather try to place them on the correct cronological sequence; as for us they're just normal stamps, not BOB ones.

I've noticed that semi-postals are listed chronologically in Facit, but Gibbons lists them as BOB. Don't recall at the moment about Yvert.

P.S.

Perhaps this means that the Brits have never really "been on the Continent?"

Charity stamps are integrated in Gibbons, Yvert and every other catalogue except Scott, as far as I know.

Y&T and Michel, list charity stamps chronologicaly, as does Edifil. I don't know what Stanley Gibbons are you using, but I have 3 of them with me (GB, Austria & Hungary, Czechoslovakia & Poland) and none of them separate "semipostals" from "normal" stamps.
Zumstein (Switzerland) list on diferent chapters "Commemoratives+definitives", "Pro-joventute", "Prop-patria", "Charity", "Airmail" and "Mini-sheets". A very good catalog!
