Oops, sorry Rod, my last reply was for PostmmasterGS. His image does appear to be a full sheet that is not mentioned in Michel. Could those stamps somehow be different from the ones from the 'triplets'? |

Rod,
Most of these were released in se-tenants with two portrait-oriented stamps on the ends and a landscape-oriented stamp in the middle. I have images for most of these that I grabbed as I was looking through the sets, but due to the volume, it's probably easier to just show you where you can find them online.
I'll send you an email, since one of the sites is unmentionable here.
As to the 9 in your latest post:
1. Label 2. Label 3. 2458 4. 2051 2055 5. 2053 6. 2043 7. 2042 8. 2046 9. 2044 |

The one label that haunts me, Mr and Mrs Pompeii, they just as soon be my neighbours, as they peer out at you.  They probably ate at this very FAST FOOD outlet... Note the paintings on the bench, just like the stamps / labels. THERMOPOLIAN  Video Here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12...3016180?nw=0 |

So I am just wondering if the government of Ajman, and all the other Trucial States for that matter, at the time were actually aware of the stamp motifs their agents were issuing on their behalf. Public nudity was and still remains a no-no in the UAE while I hardly think that an Islamic nation would wittingly issue stamps with Christian motifs. Perhaps, and since most were produced exclusively for the collectors' market, they were allowed as long as they didn't find their way 'home'. |

Here are a few more mystery stamps from Ajman (?), the gold printing is missing.    Does anyone recognize the people in the portraits? I noticed in my 2013 Michel Catalogue there were several Ajman numbers listed as 'dropped'. Just wonder if anyone has an older Michel catalogue from the 80's that might contain the 'dropped' items. Perhaps it might shed light on the original two images I posted and these later ones. Thanks to all for your help. |

Finbar B. Kenny (3 March 1917 – 13 January 2010) was an American philatelist and businessman. Kenny worked as manager of the stamp department of Macy's. He arranged the sale of the unique British Guiana 1c magenta in 1940, and continued to look after it for the next thirty years, often being mistaken for its owner.[1][2] In the 1960s, Kenny made deals with a number of the Trucial States in order to print stamps on their behalf for sale to collectors. These Dune Stamps consisted of large numbers of brightly colored stamps whose topics had little or no relationships to their issuing countries. The arrangement ended when the United Arab Emirates was formed in 1971.[3] Today, collectors generally ignore them. In 1965, Kenny was hired by the Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, Sir Albert Henry, to print stamps for collectors. Kenny's firm, Cook Islands Development Company, a subsidiary of his Kenny International Corporation, had the exclusive franchise as the nation's overseas postal agent, and splits the profits 50-50 with the government.[4] In 1978 Henry asked Kenny for an advance of $337,000 on the next year's philatelics revenue to finance his re-election campaign. Henry used the money to fly voters in to the country, even though the money had been earmarked for the nation's old age pension scheme.[4] The Chief Justice of the time, Sir Gaven Donne, nullified the extra votes and installed Thomas Davis as Prime Minister. In 1979, Kenny became the first American to plead guilty of violating the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits Americans from paying bribes overseas to increase business. The courts considered the advance a bribe, and Kenny was fined $50,000. He also returned the $337,000 to the Cook Islands government.[4] |
