General Philatelic/Gen. Discussion : 1933 Hamburg Balloon Stamps
Author Postings biggeorge 21 Apr 2021 08:40:05amA friend has come across several of these stamps and is wondering about their value in mint, but hinged condition. I do not have scans of his finds but we have identified them as Mi 21a, 21b and 21c. Found used copies (on post cards) in several auctions, but nothing for a mint, hinged stamp
Thanks in advance,

Are those german stamps like these? :

Or are they American, Belgium, Dutch, French ?
