I noticed there was not a thread for Dutch perfins so here are a couple to start one off. Can anyone identify the organizations these perfins represent?   |

Nice one darkormex , perfins are always fun to find! As for the three Netherlands ones shared here, from left to right: G.S. - N.V. Gebroeders Sluis' Zaadteelt en Zaadhandel (Enkhuizen) HC - ? H.C. Hagemeijer & Co's Handelmaatschappij N.V., exporthandel (Amsterdam) Depending on the level of interest for you and others, one may want to consider adding a copy of J.L. Verhoeven en N. van der Lee's Catalogue Dutch Perfins to the library shelves.
Happy collecting! |

Nice stamps, Darren ( darkormex)! Thanks for starting this thread. Thanks for your response, Vince ( stanley64). Perhaps I am missing something, but I think that the two H.C. perfins are identical. One is just applied differently to the stamp, being inverted and/or reversed compared to the other, but it is the same one as near as I can tell. I have no special expertise in this area, but that's my opinion. Vince, I think you have already nailed it. No question marks needed.  |

Because the perfins were applied individually with a hand operated lever punch, to save time, sheets would be folded end to end and the over again to allow at least 4 stamps to be done simultaneously. The folding explains why we get the same perfin normal , inverted, reversed, and reversed inverted ! |

Thank you for your help with this, stanley64, Beryllium Guy and vikingeck. I will check out that link this evening. I collect perfins to some extent though I don't set them aside in their own collection. |

Not sure if you knew the origins of the perfin shared in your last posting here on the thread, but for the others the "L.B." on the stamp of Queen Wilhelmina is for an Amsterdam bedrif, "Erven Lucas Bols, Distilleerderij en Likeurstokerij" The image of Queen Wilhelmina was also used for the Suriname's issues of the same time period and apparently hashad their share of forgeries as shared in this posting, Forged stamps of Suriname (an interesting aside)...
Happy collecting!

Here is another example of the H.C. Hagemeijer & Co's Handelmaatschappij N.V., exporthandel (Amsterdam), perfin in Sc. 243A, Gull definitive, 2 1/2c dk. green. At first the color description made me think otherwise but this stamp is photogravure rather than lithographed. I used my Machin identification skills for this...LOL.   |
