1928-1932 German Paul von Hindenburg 10 Pfennig Postage Stamp
This is a vintage German postage stamp from the Weimar Republic era, specifically featuring the profile of President Paul von Hindenburg. The stamp is a 10 Pfennig denomination, indicated by the '10' visible in both upper corners. The design features a side profile of Hindenburg facing left within a circular frame, set against a deep carmine or reddish-brown background. Below the portrait, the text 'Deutsches Reich' (German Empire/Realm) is printed in a traditional Fraktur script. The stamp is rectangular with standard perforations along all four edges. Notably, the stamp has a visible black circular postal cancellation mark (postmark) across the upper right portion of the portrait, indicating it was used in circulation. The watermark and exact paper type are difficult to determine from the image, but this series was typically produced on paper with a waffle or mesh watermark. Condition-wise, the perforations appear mostly intact, though there is slight blurring in the image detail. The color appears relatively well-preserved without significant fading, though the paper shows the natural toning expected from a specimen nearly a century old. This particular design was widely circulated between 1928 and the early 1930s before the transition to the Third Reich era designs.
