Hi Torbjorn,
Colnect lists these as definitive stamps in one series called "Dispenser Stamps".
For example, the first stamp with "Dachstein" and the ibex as listed with Michel number DM4 so I assume these are in a separate listing in the Michel catalogue.
It seems Scott lists them within the regular stamps category. I have no idea what makes these dispenser stamps different enough to justify a separate listing in Michel.
Off topic, but talking about Michel - I have a large collection of the trident overprints from several different regions with minor differences. Someone told me that Michel did a great job with these, much better than Scott's. If anyone out there would be willing to send these pages via a scan please let me know by either personal message or e-mail! Thanks!!!! Now back to the real topic .....
Don't forget to mention that you need an older version of the Ost Europa catalogue. A detailed description of all the types had been removed from the latest editions... ;-)
Thanks Jansimon, I did forget to mention that!! I NEED AN OLDER VERSION OF THE CATALOG PAGES! You guys are really sharp and quick - great stuff!!!
Hi Torbjorn,
I would like to take up your offer. I'll send you a direct message.
Best wishes, Nigel
Where is Michel listing these? As mentioned, they don't seem to be online, neither in the regular stamps section nor the vending machine stamps section (of which these aren't as they are not printed with a range of denominations as they usually are). My last PDF Michel was printed before these started to come out from Scott the first ones appear to be #2693-5 in 2017.
I'm just surprised there are items in Scott that aren't in Michel; it's usually the other way around!
From what I read, these stamps are not similar to vending machine stamps (ATM) and they are also different from normal stamps in the sense that one cannot buy them and use them whenever you want to send a letter. Instead they are applied at the counter of post offices or agencies when someone brings a letter.
It appears this is reason enough to create a new category in the catalogue. There have been 17 series of 4 stamps each so far.
