Some of my favorite stamps on cover. First Czeschoslovakia 1946.  Then Airmail stamp number 4 and 5 from the Netherlands. I am talking about the stamp on the far left and the green one next to it. I have to point out that these stamps were also allowed for normal postage since 29 April 1931.  Netherlands Indies number 1-5.  And Netherlands numbers 9 and 10 on a London-Melbourne Air race cover 1934. The airmail stamps are in the upper right corner. Although every collector of the Netherlands will probably prefer all the other stamps. (Some good examples of Photo Montage stamps)  |

This group of five Danish airmails though considered a set was released in a sort of piecemeal fashion over several years, the three lower valued stamps were issued in 1925 (10 ore and 25 ore) and 1926 (15 ore) and the two higher valued ones (50 ore and 1 krone) in October 1929. There were only 59,400 of the 1 kr printed, so that's the highest number possible of complete sets, making the set fairly scarce, and therefore fairly expensive. And for this reason, they are usually not pictured in the cheaper world-wide albums, so it wasn't until I started collecting Denmark as a country collection that I even became aware of them. The prices in Scott, AFA and Facit are all higher for used examples. I have the set in mint and have the three lower values on an airmail cover. The design is called Airplane and Plowman, and contrasts the old agrarian past of Denmark, which prevailed until well into the twentieth century, with the new. I think it's a very attractive set.  |
