Mutawakelite Kingdom Of Yemen-Unissued/Unauthorized Stamps 1947-1950, Relative Value?

Hi,

Came across these stamps in lot I was going through. They looked interesting and I ended up trying to find out more about their value.


In my research, I came across several sites and forum posts that I found at least partially helpful.

Last half of the page has pictures of the unissued sets from this period.

From what I gather:
The 2 bottom stamps are part of an set from 1947, that was not officially issued. I can get a general idea of value from my 2011 San-Z Scott catalogue , that has a note saying,



The rest of the stamps are from a set from 1950 that was not officially released. It commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Postal Union. It appears to be unlisted in Scott, with no notes that I saw.

Everything is unpriced except a full set of imperfs, which is priced as 35.- Euros (MNH).
That is, for Michel Numbers 114B-121B

The comment in Michel is "It is most doubtful that MiNos. 114-121 are regular issues."

Michel only gives perf as 12.5 (Mi. 99 is the 1/2B - Mi. 103 is the 6B - both are regular
issues. Unpriced in the catalog except for complete set (Mi. 99-113) of 15 values (perforated 12.5) which is 35.- Euros (MNH).

The comment in Michel is "It is doubtful that MiNos. 99-113 are regular issues.
However, covers with stamps from this issue are known to exist."
