GLOBAL PHILATELIC PACKET - 200 VERSCHIEDENE ALLER WELT: IDENTIFICATION

This is a commercial 'kiloware' variety pack of 200 different cancelled postage stamps from worldwide issuing authorities. The stamps are mounted onto a display card under a protective cellophane wrap, featuring a German-language header '200 verschiedene ALLER WELT'. Visible issues include a 1961 Czechoslovakia 60h 'Friendship with African Peoples' lithograph, several Indonesian 'Republik Indonesia' portraits from the late 1950s, a 1962 Netherlands 12c Wilhelmina-Juliana issue, and various mid-century definitives from Norway, Italy, and Yugoslavia. The assembly is designed for entry-level collectors, providing a broad geographical spread of common 20th-century postal issues.

Compare with other stamps in the archive: Belgian Congo, Queen Elisabeth Mask Issue (1928-1930) - 6 Francs, Belgium 1912 definitive series postage stamp, 10-centime carmine on blue frame, cancelled 'MONS S-GENERAL', Bosnia and Herzegovina 1906 1-Heller Town View Stamp with German Overprint.

PHILATELIST'S VERDICT

Philatelist

Stamp Specialist

The identification is based on clear visual evidence of several well-documented 20th-century issues and standard commercial packaging common in the philatelic trade.

KEY EVIDENCE

  • 1Presence of 1962 Netherlands Silver Wedding issue (Scott #398)
  • 2German text '200 verschiedene Aller Welt' indicates West German distribution
  • 3Stamps include common definitives from Norway, Yugoslavia, and Indonesia typical of 1960s kiloware
  • 4Circular date stamps (CDS) on several issues confirm commercial use

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

  • →Remove from cellophane to inspect individual stamp gum and reverse side thins
  • →Check the Czechoslovakia 60h for specific watermark varieties if applicable
  • →Scan the backs of early Indonesian stamps for potential expert marks

CONDITION & GRADE

Fine to Very Fine (Used)

Grading breakdown

Most examples show average centering with standard commercial cancellations; the 'Hobby' assembly suggests these were not graded for individual rarity but for a varied visual collection.

Condition

The stamps are primarily used (cancelled), with visible circular date stamps (CDS) and wavy line machine cancellations. Most appear to be in Fine-Very Fine (F-VF) condition for the issue, though some exhibit minor perforation irregularities typical of mass-sorted packets. The outer packaging shows minor corner wear but the cellophane remains intact.
