Deutsche Post 'Pflüger' (Plower) Postage Stamps

This item consists of a collection of four distinct postage stamps, likely from a stamp album, issued by 'Deutsche Post'. All stamps depict a stylized image of a man, presumably a 'Pflüger' or 'plower', holding what appears to be a tool or instrument, standing in a field-like setting. Each stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, indicating they are genuine postage stamps. The color variations and denominations suggest a series. The first stamp, in the top row on the left, is red and features a '3 PFENNIG' denomination, though a cancellation mark or overprint partially obscures the top left corner. The second in the top row is green, with a '10 PFENNIG' denomination. The third in the top row is blue, marked with '20 PFENNIG'. The fourth stamp, positioned below and to the left, is red again, with a '40 PFENNIG' denomination. The 'DEUTSCHE POST' inscription is clearly visible at the bottom of each stamp. The stamps appear to be in generally good condition, with crisp colors and well-defined perforations, though the presence of the cancellation mark on the 3 Pfennig stamp indicates it has been used. The paper backing of the album page is a light beige color with faint ruled lines, and the stamps are neatly affixed. The visible portion of a wooden border at the bottom hints at the overall context of a collectible album. These stamps likely date from the post-war era in Germany, specifically the early years of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) or possibly the Soviet Occupation Zone/early German Democratic Republic (East Germany), given the 'Deutsche Post' designation which was used by both entities before more specific naming conventions. The 'Pflüger' motif is a common theme representing agricultural labor and national rebuilding after the war.
