AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes an assortment of cancelled postage stamps from various countries, mounted on a cardboard sheet. The visible side features 13 stamps of various sizes and colours, primarily from Europe and the United States. Identifiable countries include Sweden ("LUNDS DOMKYRKA"), the Netherlands ("NEDERLAND"), the United States ("UNITED STATES POSTAGE"), Norway ("NORGES POST"), as well as other European origins. Several effigies, architectural motifs, and national symbols are represented.

The stamps display a varied chromatic range: violet, blue, carmine red, brown, pink, orange. Some stamps show visible face values or mentions such as "50 c", "30 öre", "15 c". The set shows different graphic styles, typical of series spanning several decades of the 20th century. The cancellations are clear on most stamps, testifying to effective postal use.

The support sheet reveals transparent strips holding the stamps in place. Some handwritten inscriptions are visible at the top ("Divers"), without further legible detail. The general condition of the stamps varies: some retain vibrant colours, others show traces of wear or handling, typical of circulated stamps.

Several pieces feature striking graphic details, such as portraits (historical figures or sovereigns), coats of arms, or monuments. The cancellations partially cover certain motifs, reinforcing the postal authenticity of the lot. No new or hinge-free stamps are visible on this side.

This lot is ideal for discovering the diversity of European and American postal issues, with typical examples of 20th-century philately. The variety of motifs, colours, and provenances makes it a representative set for an introduction or an enrichment of a global thematic album.
