Thanks for your post, tele1962 Are you able to provide a close-up image of one of the blocks, please? Preferably one of the darker colors to enhance legibility. Also, is there any other information in the folder or on the blocks themselves, such as a year? I can't read anything from your image. |

I can't read anything from your image. I am sorry but that is the best image I have. I think thats the problem as also there is no other information. But thank you for trying to help. |

Just had this reply from the seller:
This is not an item I specialise in. It is from a broader auction Lot. On a search of Ebay and Google I could not locate it nor find it in my World catalogues. I'm assuming it is a Philatelic/Exhibition type issue but can't confirm that nor the year.
Apologies I can't be more helpful.
Best wishes.

Can anyone help with these I can't seem to find them in the catalogue? The very blurred image does not allow us to judge beyond doubt whether these are cinderellas or stamps from Liechtenstein. With this reservation, I give the following hint: These souvenir sheets (?) have the same dimensions as the stamps issued by Liechtensteinische Post AG on its own initiative. Here are two examples:   The Liechtenstein issues marked "Liechtensteinische Post AG" (until 2023) or "Liechtenstein Post" (since then) are always stamps issued by Liechtensteinische Post and not by the government of the Principality.
I, at least, have not yet succeeded in distinguishing beyond doubt whether the respective issues are customizable stamps that have been personalized on behalf of customers or customizable stamps that have been "personalized" by Liechtensteinische Post itself. Some of these issues can be purchased in the online store of Philately Liechtenstein (brand of Liechtensteinische Post AG!). They are probably Liechtensteinische Post's own issues. This applies to the two "royal souvenir sheets" shown here. They can be purchased there (with a franking value of 1.80 Swiss francs) for 6 euros (plus postage and any customs duties).... Only stamps issued by the government of the Principality are included in the stamp catalogs. They bear the country designation " Fürstentum Liechtenstein" or " Liechtenstein" (without Post!!!!!) In many cases, the Liechtenstein Post's own issues have no connection whatsoever with the Principality of Liechtenstein and are probably aimed primarily at the wallets of collectors who may not be aware of the subtle differences between "Liechtenstein" and "Liechtenstein Post". Further examples of this are the crypto stamps issued by Liechtensteinische Post AG with animal illustrations from recent years. Honi soit qui mal y pense.... |

The Liechtenstein Postal Museum states the following:
1999
Liechtensteinische Post AG is founded under public law and enters into operation on 1 January 2000. From the very outset and once again since 2021, the state has been the sole shareholder; between 2005 until 2021, Swiss Post held 25 percent of the shares.

Daniel The establishment of Liechtensteinische Post AG under public law does not change the fact that a distinction must be made between the issues of the Principality's government and those of Liechtensteinische Post AG. This is clearly stated in the Principality's Postal Act. Even if they are stamps valid for postage in accordance with the regulations of the UPU, the issues of Liechtensteinische Post AG are not "official" issues and are not included in the stamp catalogs. |

Can anyone help with these I can't seem to find them in the catalogue? I exhausted my research...nothing. Just a wild guess, the standard of printing, and the general feel of the items, suggest "A present to the collectors of Liechtenstein Stamps" (Agreement with Daniel) I draw that comparison from the Chinese "Entity Souvenir Sheets" that exist in the 1000's from China Issued by the China Philately Head Office Printed by the Beijing Stamp Factory (Items without postal validity) |

tele1962 they are attractive sheets, given as a gift to Liechtensteinische Post AG customers, with each sheet in a single colour. As to their postal validity, that is unclear. See rednaxela's posts above in this thread. They do not appear in the main catalogues. Daniel
