As a retiree from General Motors, I found the advertisements for Chevrolet and others in old Danish booklets to be quite cool! Some show the old radiators and some logos. There are 64 major numbers listed in my 2007 Facit. Of course, they are a bit pricy and hard to find, but I have managed to acquire a few ...   |

These were mostly issued as booklet panes of four with two labels, but there were a few larger sheets arranged so that there were tete beche rows. I don’t have those as they are VERY rare, so I’ll take a pic from catalog to show you the unusual layout.

I was a collector of Denmark for some 30 years and had at one time a fairly comprehensive collection of these many pairs , trios and quite a range of complete panes. The last three or four have just been sold on eBay since the spring . The last ones were for sundry pharmaceuticals from AB industrial chemists.

The various General Motors and other radiators all went some time ago ...................hot cakes they were! Or as we say in Scotland, “ like snow off a dyke”
My favourite , and quite common, are the coal merchant KKKK. Kobenhavn Koke & Kohl Kompanie.
that guy must have some muscle to carry a lump of coal that size.

WOW! Oh Viking! vikingeck I wish I could have seen your collection! That must have been quite a job to assemble. Besides my Ireland, these are one of my favorite mini collections. As I sell off some of my other collections, my pennies will hopefully be used to bid on a few more of these! I’ve been trying to get them on covers, too. Fun stuff! |

I searched your link looking for adverts and reklamaerker without success . No results shown!  Update : OK I found some listed as OTHER ! Not so easy but I guess there are some after all. |

I hunted, too. Good prices, but the search engine and descriptions need a bit more oomph.
They also don’t list what forms of payment are accepted, isn’t that odd? I searched all over. I suppose they are making an assumption that those of us outside the country are missing? What IS the most popular form of payment? GIRO accounts?

GIRO accounts? They haven't been used for more than 10 years :-)
Anyway, shoot them an e-mail. I think they use bank transfers or online credit card payments, but can't remember. It's been a long time since I bought from them.
And yes, they are under Denmark - Other.

Here is my foray into Danish advertising pairs, courtesy of a personal donation to Jay Smith. How did the Danish Post pick topics? Following the lead from philatelia and vikingeck , the corporate logos are easy enough to understand. I had to look this one up. But if I have it right, it promotes a Danish folk holiday, Upside Down Day or more idiomatically, Bass Ackward Day. Why this deserved a stamp I’ll never get. But the result is nice.

Just added an Oakland Radiator pair to my Denmark advertising pairs collection today. The Oakland cars were manufactured in my home state of Michigan, in Pontiac, about 30 minutes from the GM facility where I worked. here’s the 1929 booklet stamp pair and the 1929 Oakland car:   |
