Set Of 13 Postage Stamps Appraisal

VS1943-44 Overrun Countries Set of 13 Postage Stamps

This item is a collection of 13 postage stamps, identified on the accompanying label as 'VS1943-44 OVERRUN COUNTRIES #909-921 13 STAMPS'. The stamps are housed within a clear, multi-pocket, plastic or cellophane display sheet, which is affixed or inserted into a cream-colored, stiff paper or cardstock holder. The holder itself bears a label indicating 'THE HERITAGE COLLECTION CAMDEN, NY 13316'. The stamps themselves appear to be rectangular, with serrated or perforated edges, consistent with standard postage stamp design. Each stamp features a central design that includes colored vertical or horizontal bars, suggestive of national flags, surrounded by a darker, possibly blue or greyish border with decorative elements. The specific color patterns visible on the stamps indicate they represent different 'overrun countries' from World War II, as suggested by the item's title. Some visible flag patterns include red and white vertical stripes, red horizontal stripes, and combinations of blue, yellow, and red. The stamps are all of the same size and orientation, placed neatly within their individual pockets on the display sheet. Given the inscription 'VS1943-44', these stamps likely date from the World War II era, specifically 1943-1944. The condition of the stamps appears good, though the clarity of the image is somewhat limited for a detailed assessment of individual stamp wear. They are protected by the plastic sleeves, suggesting they have been preserved for collection. The packaging indicates a curated collection, possibly assembled by 'The Heritage Collection' for sale or display. The craftsmanship of the stamps would be typical for government-issued postage, while the presentation in a protective sheet and labeled holder demonstrates care for philatelic preservation. No obvious damage or significant wear to the stamps or the protective packaging is discernible from the provided images.
