Description: [zipedit] Germany Municipal Revenues Gebührenmarke der Gemeinden und Gemeindeverbände - General Municipal Fee stamps. These revenues were issued for use by municipalities that did not issue their own stamps. There was only one issue (1951), but several printings with different colors and shades, different watermarks and different perforation varieties. This lot consists of 6 different values from 10 pfennig to 5 DM. The 60 pfennig, dark green blue, appears to be from the first printing, with a watermark of webbing. The other 5 values appear to be from the second printing, with a watermark of large letters (indistinct). The stamps depict Freiherr vom Stein.From Wikipedia: Heinrich Friedrich Karl Reichsfreiherr vom und zum Stein (25 October 1757 - 29 June 1831), commonly known as Baron vom Stein, was a Prussian statesman who introduced the Prussian reforms that paved the way for the unification of Germany. He promoted the abolition of serfdom, with indemnification to territorial lords; subjection of the nobles to manorial imposts; and the establishment of a modern municipal system. Stein was from an old Franconian family. He was born on the family estate near Nassau, studied at Göttingen, and entered the civil service. Prussian conservatism hampered him in his efforts to bring about changes. In 1807, he was removed from office by the King for refusing to accept the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, but was recalled after the Peace of Tilsit. After it became known that he had written a letter in which he criticized Napoleon, Stein was obliged to resign which he did on 24 November 1808, and retired to the Austrian Empire, from which he was summoned to the Russian Empire by Tsar Alexander I in 1812. After the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, Stein became head of the council for the administration of the re-conquered German countries. They are listed in the Erler & Norton "Catalogue of the Adhesive Revenue Stamps of Germany - Volume X - General Municipal Fee Stamps" as #L11, 12, 6, 15, 16, 18. They are all VF, MNH. Approximate Image Size: 18 x 22 mm. * "STOCK IMAGE" Shipping to US addresses will be via USPS First Class Mail. Shipping to non-US addresses will be via USPS First Class Mail International.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. * A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
