Hallo zusammen,
ich bin noch relativ neu hier im Forum und sammel auch noch nicht sehr lange.
Polen ist auch nicht mein Sammelgebiet und deshalb würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn mir jemand sagen könnte, welche Michel-Nr. und welchen Tauschwert die abgebildeten Marken haben (ich habe auch keinen Katalog aus diesem Bereich).
Vielen Dank
Andrew
Guten Tag zusammen,
gibt es wirklich keinen Polensammler, der mir zu diesen Marken etwas sagen kann? Oder handelt es sich dabei um so unbedeutende Massenware, dass eine Antwort überflüssig erscheint?
Beste Grüße
Andrew
Hello Andrew
The catalog which i use in my collection is the Fischer, the polish catalog
All the stamps have no special value, that's true, nevertheless, let's see something...
The three stamps with the SO overprint belong to the plebiscite issues held in Spis and Orawa.
After WWI, in some border regions, plebiscites were held to determinate the annexion of that region to a country or to another (that's in few words). In that regions, particular stamps were issued. Spis and Orawa are two towns in the Czech-Polish border (don't ask me now where they are...), and instead of a special issue, existing polish stamps where overprinted with "S.O. 1920".
The 25.000 mk is stamp overprinted because of the inflation period.
The 1.000.000 mk and 2.000.000 mk are also stamps of the same inflation period. These stamps are quite rare and valued as used (but warranted used). New or hinged are quite common instead. Used stamps with a fake cancel are also common (me too i have the same cancelled in the 1950... late use...).
The other stamps are all of the early period of the newbord Poland. You can see the currency is still the "marek", which was one of the two in use in Poland (Marek in the northern poland, Korona in the southern Poland). In 1924, after the currency reform, the Zloty was introduced instead.
In the second block, there are just postage due and official stamps (exept the last 25gr brown).
The first are postage due stamps (Doplata = postage due). They are mixed, belonging to several issues.
The red ones are all official stamps (i.e. used to deliver official mail). The first official stamps were made in red with big digits inside, while the following issues were more simplified, being composed by two stamps, one for ordinary (Zwyczaina) and one for registered (Polecona) mail.
hall andrew,
bei deinen polenmarken handelt es sich um reine massenware.
die erste karte wertet lt. katalog etwa bei 6-7 euro und die 2. karte mit den dienstmarken insgesamt bei 1 euro.
sorry
andreas
