International Philatelic Collection in Stockbook

This item is a collection of approximately 35-40 international postage stamps housed within a black-paged philatelic stockbook. The stamps represent a diverse array of countries, with visible examples from Poland (Polska), France, Italy (Italia), and Katowice. The visual motifs are varied, including wildlife (a large green WWF parrot stamp and a tiger), religious iconography (angels), landscapes, architecture, and contemporary graphic designs. Most stamps appear to be printed on paper with standard perforations, though at least one oval-shaped French label ('BRAVO et MERCI') is present. Several specimens exhibit circular postmarks (cancellations), indicating they are 'used' postal items, while others appear to be in 'mint' or 'unused' condition. The collection spans several decades, likely middle-to-late 20th century based on the design styles and face values. The condition of the stamps varies; while many appear well-preserved within the protective clear film strips, others show signs of slight edge wear or minor creasing. The stockbook itself features high-contrast black pages with clear horizontal strips, which serves as a protective storage and display medium designed to prevent adhesive damage. The quality of the collection is consistent with a topical or generalist beginner-to-intermediate collector's assembly, showcasing a range of printing techniques from simple lithography to more complex multi-color engraving.
