I am putting together a little  collection of physically small postage stamps such as the US Indian Head Cent stamp or the war-time stamps from South Africa. Does anyone have other suggestions to include in my collection - or is there a list of such stamps. Thanks all.

I don't remember the Scott numbers, but even smaller than the Indian Head penny include:
(look in first couple of pages of listings) South Australia South Africa
also, there are a bunch of very small stamps from Ajman/Manama and Umm al Quwain, that are not Scott listed. Many a few other Trucials, but those for sure. I think I remember seeing about 200-300 different ones in my collection, at or a little smaller than the Indian Head Penny. They are topicals of uniforms, sports, space, paintings, animals...

Well they were at the time of printing that catalogue (1953?) :) Philately is constantly evolving so don't be surprised if there's smaller. If you want some of the Victorian "bantams" let me know, I have over 500. The smallest value stamp: not quite 2/5ths of a farthing.  discounting values created by stamps in hyperinflation. |
