Deutsches Reich Hindenburg 8 Pfennig Postage Stamp
This is a vintage German postage stamp, specifically an 8 Pfennig denomination from the Deutsches Reich featuring a portrait of Paul von Hindenburg. The stamp is predominantly orange, with a monochromatic illustration of Hindenburg's left-facing profile in the center. The value '8' is printed in the top left and top right corners of the stamp, signifying its postal value. The words 'Deutsches Reich' are visible along the bottom edge in a gothic or blackletter style font. The stamp has perforations along its edges, indicating it was separated from a sheet. A prominent circular postmark partially covers the image of Hindenburg. The postmark is black and contains text 'STADELN' (partially visible along the top curve) and a date '5.12.37-22' (December 5, 1937) in the center, signifying its usage. The postmark is quite heavy, obscuring some details of the underlying portrait and text. The overall condition appears to be used, as evidenced by the postmark. There's some minor age-related wear, and the stamp exhibits a generally good presentation given its age. The paper quality seems consistent with postal stamps of the period.
