Denmark Fund Seals and ATM Labels. From the Late Ralph Ambrose, Florida, a great friend, "joint issues" specialist. Glassine labelled "Rescued from the Dumpster" We would go "Dumpster Diving" for old stamps and labels. Will try "Fuelite" first, then water for soaking.

Denmark Fund Seals and ATM Labels. .... Will try "Fuelite" first, then water for soaking. The squarish Frama labels are water-activated gum, so you can use water for those. The long thin ATMs are self-adhesive and don't soak off in water but come off nicely with my paint thinner so should do the same with your chemicals. I follow the use of paint thinner with a water soak on those labels. The printed denomination doesn't have any problems with my paint thinner, unlike the common Spanish ATMs which use thermal paper - those need care taken to affect the printing as little as possible.

Not sure where Denmark comes into this. That is a "stamp" showing Queen Silvia of Sweden atop the model. Below you can see similar ads showing King Carl XVI of Sweden and our own Queen Elizabeth II. Venca is a Spanish fashion company, and these ads are made by an advertising company from Spain. www.adeevee.com/2006/04/venca-fashion-by-post-2nd-270-320-print/ |

Thanks Jaysee, my error.
Spain it is.
(But probably more pertinent under the stamp's country of origin)

Great pity rod’s photobucket images have been lost since the ludicrous Photobucket price jump debacle of a couple of years ago . The demand for $300 fee to use the service was a rise too much for most of us amateur users. There are many interesting aspects of Denmark mentioned but now lost to the Forum.

This I learned to appreciate courtesy of Vikingeck. Try they might, but postal clerks struggled. Today we all know that. But back in the day, when postal reputations meant more, it took guts to stand up to the window and protest a mistake. Fighting for chaos were perverse postal patrons, determined to confuse the best of them. Stamps on the back; surely the bane of every speedy stamper. The T for postage due, obliterated under blue crayon, tells it all. Nice set of Wavy Lines, on the back.

This week, I have decided to work on my Denmark and Danish West Indies collections. Part of this will be trying to determine which of my early issues have an inverted frame and which have the frame in the upright direction. Other than the picture in Scott, any advice would be appreciated.

Seriously, the Scott illustration is pretty much as good as it gets (it's essentially the same in the AFA catalog, which specializes in Denmark). In the upper left corner, the ornamental petal and the stem opposite it are offset by a mm or so, but directly across from each other when the frame is inverted. If you can't see it through a postmark or something, look to the lower right corner; there, the normal frame should have the two directly across (opposite of the upper left, hence, inverted frame). AFA also shows some small angular differences, but honestly, it is far easier to spot where the leaf is relative to the stem opposite it.

The inverted frame in the Danish bicolour series occurs for one of two reasons .
1. It is a 2 stage print process and sometimes after the 1st run a sheet or two is inserted upside down . This produces panes of 100 inverted frames. Because the difference is trivial the post office and the printer were both unconcerned and it is only stamp collectors who get excited. These inverts for particular print runs are usually fairly common.
2 sometimes during preparation of the plates a cliche gets damaged and the printer has to replace it with a fresh cliche. If he inserts it upside down then there will be a print run with only one invert in 100 . These inverts identified from knowledge in detail of different printings (shades of ink, recognisable flaws in the matrix or individual cliches) are scarcer and the possibility of finding a pair ,one normal + one inverted gets specialists really excited .
May the good Lord help him , for study of the Bicolours leads to blindness and insanity ................🤪

If you happen upon an extra inverted skilling value or two, I think I might know someone interested in them...!  There are also at least 2 paper types (Scott names them 'from Thin to Thick'), and once you move on to the Wavy Line and Christian X series and hit wmk 114 there are reversed watermarks as unlisted variants (might be true of the earlier watermarks, but I haven't found any of those yet) |

my head hurts just thinking of that!  I need to ask a question--Is anyone who visits this forum a member of the Scandinavian Collectors Club? I used to be some time ago, but let my membership lapse. BOB |

Hi Aaron kasvik, first will you allow me a tiny indulgence as one who collected Denmark for 30+ years.? The first two stamps should be described as the BICOLOUR issue , not the Royal Arms which more correctly describes the issues from 1851-64. However may I congratulate you on two beautiful strikes of “STAR” cancels , Danish “Stjernstempler” . These were issued to small village sub post offices which did not have timed date stamps. They would be used to cancel the stamp before bagging the mail to go on up to the nearby town for onward distribution . GYLDENHOLM type 2 was used from 1892-1910 a sub office of Slagelse, and NAESBYHOVEDBROBY Type I was answerable to Odense Beautifully struck stars command a premium several times the value of the stamp. |

Kinda related to Denmark stamps - Google translates KLASSIKERE. Parti bla. en del stortakkede (a description from a Danish auction) which I take to mean faulty damaged stamps - as “bigoted” stamps. LoL Nasty bigoted stamps haha.

I am not sure this stamp qualifies. Denmark issued it, but it was used elsewhere, in the the Duchy of Lauenburg's capital, Ratzeburg, near Lubeck in Germany.The King of Denmark happened to also be the Duke of Lauenburg and some neighboring places such has Holstein. This became a problem in the 1860s.

Ah indeed greaden , the “ Schleswig Holstein Question”, a problem of succession and ethnic Danish /German division, which vexed politicians for years . There were divergent claimants to succeed the ailing King and Duke Frederick VII . Denmark allowed the female line to be considered , Holstein excluded female connections. When King Christian IX tried to incorporate Schleswig into the Danish Kingdom , Bismarck’s Prussians allied with Austria ,invaded and seized the Duchies in the war of 1864. Austria was subsequently squeezed out of Holstein , and the various Duchies were incorporated into the new German Reich in 1872 under Kaiser Wilhelm. the above is a very simplified account , Palmerston the British Prime minister said in later life that “ only three people understood the Schleswig Holstein Question. The first was Prince Albert and he is dead, the second a German professor and he went mad, and the third was myself , ..........and I have completely forgotten!” |

Ah yes, Schleswig/Holstein. Can someone give me the straight on where Germany ends and Denmark begins (or the other way around lol).
(kasvik, the postmarks on those Danish stamps are tremendous. Why do I always get the heavy smudged ones?

Just be careful which language you use to ask in Schleswig or Slesvig; they had a plebiscite there in 1920 to decide the border. While North Slesvig came out as Danish, the towns in southern Zone had a German majority.  APENRADE ( German ) became Danish AABENRAA While FLENSBURG on the border remained German !  |

I took your advice, tobben63. I now have a better understanding of the plebiscite of 1920. It was about as fair as it could be. Thanks! |
