Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
A vintage postage stamp from Bremen, Germany, issued in 1947. The stamp features a stylized bird, likely representing the city's coat of arms, in a striking purple hue against a patterned background. The denomination is clearly marked as 20. The stamp is perforated and shows signs of its age, with a visible postmark date of September 20, 1947.
History
Following World War II, Germany was divided into occupation zones, and many regions and cities issued their own provisional stamps. Bremen, as part of the American zone, issued this series in 1947 to meet postal needs. These stamps represent a period of recovery and renewed national identity in post-war Germany, with local authorities taking charge of essential services.
Facts
The bird depicted on this stamp is a eagle, a common symbol in German heraldry, representing strength and freedom. Stamps from this era, particularly those from the Allied occupation zones, are sought after by collectors interested in the complex philatelic history of post-war Germany. The specific design and perforation rate can vary, making this particular issue a unique find.
Value Fact
Stamps from Bremen issued in 1947, like this one, can range in value depending on condition and rarity. Specimens in mint or used condition with clear postmarks typically fetch higher prices. The MICHEL catalog number 13, with a denomination of 20, is a standard reference for collectors. Its market value is influenced by demand from specialists in German philately.
