Collection of Assorted International Postage Stamps
A diverse collection of five distinct postage stamps representing various eras and countries, primarily from the mid-20th century. The group includes two stamps from West Germany (Deutsche Bundespost): a turquoise and white 10-pfennig stamp commemorating the 1956 Olympic Year featuring the Olympic rings, and a red and white 25-pfennig memorial stamp for the Berlin Airlift showing aircraft over Templehof. A United States 8-cent 'Champion of Liberty' stamp from 1958 featuring Ramon Magsaysay is present, still adhered to a piece of its original envelope paper. Also included is a vintage 1-Mark purple stamp from Bavaria (Bayern) featuring a central crest, and a smaller 2.5-denomination stamp with a red numeral over a grey background. The stamps show varying degrees of condition; several bear crisp circular date stamps (postmarks) indicating they were used in transit. The USA stamp is on a torn paper fragment, and the edges of the individual stamps show classic perforation teeth, with some minor wear to the corners and edges typical of circulated paper items. Colors remain relatively vibrant, though some slight yellowing of the paper is evident on older pieces. These items are printed on standard stamp paper with lithographic or engraved details, showcasing the graphic design styles of their respective periods.
