Germany

FACEBOOK - STAMP THING - GERMANY

Over the last few years I've built up quite a stock of Germany and at last I've got round to the huge task of listing it on the website!

Probably out of all the European countries Germany has the most varied and interesting history, and this is reflected really well in the stamps. Through the issues of the pre 1870 states, through the unified issues and on to the Nazi era, followed by the partition following World War Two, occupations (both by and of Germany), colonies and issues for areas like Memel, Danzig, Saar and Berlin, there is enough to keep any collector busy for a lifetime.

Belgium

FACEBOOK - STAMP THING - BELGIUM

Latest addition to the growing range of Stamp Thing Facebook groups is for Belgium and Colonies. I am currently adding an excellent collection of Belgium to the website, mainly used and mounted mint but including some unmounted mint items especially miniature sheets.

Many Belgian stamps can still be purchased at reasonable prices and building a collection is fairly easy. The colonies add another dimension to collecting Belgian material, the stamps of Belgium itself often referencing its colonial heritage.

Austria

FACEBOOK - STAMP THING - AUSTRIA

I'm currently adding a lot of Austrian stamps to the website. I particularly like this country's stamps - the earlier ones are a little dull but give an insight into the country's troubled history (end of Empire, inflation, incorporation into the Third Reich etc), more recent material includes some unusual issues (ceramic, plastic, embroidered etc). Most commemorative issues are just a single stamp and certainly a collection of modern issues could be put together fairly cheaply.
