Set of 13 5cent grey stamps with international flags, need a date and more info!?
I have 13 stamps (not canceled) that are 5 cents each. They have a grey border, in the border on one side is a sort of a bird and on the other is a woman they each are standing on a pedestal with a 5 written on it. Each stamp has a colored international flag in the center. I have Greece, Austria, Poland, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Korea, Denmark, Albania,Yugoslavia, Albania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, France, Belgium. My guess would be that they are from the 60ies? I have a few thousand stamps but I am stumped about these ones
If there are any stamp collectors who can help me with this part of my stamp collection that would be amazing!
American collectors would call your stamps U.S. Scott numbers 909 through 921.
They were issued in 1943 and 1944. They are known as the “overrun countries issue”. They have a catalog value of the minimum 20 cents.
