A 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,

George (aka biggeorge)

In the U.S., balloon stamps of that era are listed as semi-official issues under airmails, and are quite pricey.
