Deutsche Post (German Post) Revenue and Postage Stamps Assortment

This collection features an assortment of five vintage German postal stamps, possibly revenue stamps given some denominations, meticulously arranged in what appears to be a stamp album or on an album page. The stamps are characterized by their rectangular shape and perforated edges, indicating their origin as adhesive postal or fiscal instruments. The color palette includes a prominent olive green for the large 1 RM stamp, and shades of blue and green for the smaller Pfennig denominations. Key observable details include: * **One Large Stamp:** An olive green stamp, significantly larger than the others, featuring the denomination '1 RM' (Reichsmark), and the text 'DEUTSCHE POST' and 'POST'. It has intricate circular patterns in the background and a prominent '1' at its center, with 'RM' positioned to the left of the '1'. The perforations on this stamp appear clean and well-defined. * **Three Blue Stamps:** Two smaller stamps are distinctly blue. One shows '75 PFENNIG' and 'DEUTSCHE POST' with '75' within a circular design. The other blue stamp displays '80 PFENNIG' within a similar circular motif. These are quite small in comparison to the '1 RM' stamp. Both exhibit standard perforations. * **One Green Stamp:** One small green stamp, similar in size and design to the blue Pfennig stamps, shows '84 PFENNIG' with '84' inside a patterned circle, accompanied by 'DEUTSCHE POST' and 'POST'. All stamps exhibit a classic, somewhat ornate design typical of early to mid-20th-century European philately. The background patterns on all stamps feature intricate, almost guilloche-like designs, aiming to prevent counterfeiting and provide aesthetic appeal. The condition of the stamps appears to be generally good, with clean perforations and no obvious major tears or creases visible from the image. The colors are still vibrant, suggesting they have been stored away from direct sunlight. The clear text and denomination indicate good print quality. They are likely from the period of the German Reich or early post-World War II, reflecting the currency denominations used at the time. The overall presentation on the lined album page suggests they are part of a curated collection, indicating care in handling and preservation.
