All stamps in the set, except for the 15 pfg, were issued in April 1926. The 15 pfg was issued May 1927. My Michel doesn't show exact dates of issue for this set.

Issue date for the 10Pf and 20Pf - April 1st, 1926.
Apparently it's probably one of the grandchildren who has emigrated to the US and/or Canada (heaven forbid one grandchild is in each location!) who is now causing the problems with Bruce's envelope currently still travelling between two sorting stations
