The listing, Tiered auction for Bhutan 3D Stamps - Very Unique! has ended.
This is my first tiered auction so please be a little patient with me if I've not covered all the bases ;-) These are incredible stamps that are actually 3D! (some are more 3D than others) Can you imagine the time and money that went into making these incredible stamps? According to Wikipedia they are tribal masks and date from 1976! they are for increasingly large amounts of postage. (Darn! I have an error in my photo. #3 is for 30 ch (whatever they are) and #4 is for 25ch...they are reversed.)
Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked state in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalayas and bordered to the south, east and west by the Republic of India and to the north by the People's Republic of China.
They are all in beautiful shape. Note that #3 and #5, on the reverse, have 2 small square residue marks on them where they were hinged onto a page. This is not at all visible from the front.
For 100 to 1999 points I will send 1 stamp. At 2000 points I'll add a second, at 3000 a third at 4000 points a fourth and at 5000 points a fifth. They are numbered so the high bidder can select the one(s) they want. They are shown in a plastic sleeve to keep them flat as they do have a natural curl to them. I'll put something heavy on them to encourage them to lie flat.
If you like unusual stamps or obscure countries these are for you!
