Poultry Exhibitions 1906-1928 "Complete" Collection of normal issues, plus imperforates, part-perforates, and proofs. A total of 31 items. These unusual-looking advertising labels (poster stamps) titled "Fjerkræ Udstilling" (Poultry Exhibition) were issued annually starting in 1906 and running through 1928, except there are no known issues for 1918 (due to WWI) and 1925 (for reasons unknown to me). In 1919 instead issuing a "new" label, the 1917 label was overprinted; three overprint styles exist -- two are included in this collection, the third is "rare"). The best documentation of these that I am aware of is here on the Denmark Cinderellas website. A comparison shows that this collection includes single examples of virtually all the items shown on that website. The condition in this group is Mint, with most NH (the imperforates and proofs usually only exist without gum). A couple are in lesser quality, but they are in the "very scarce" category. These issues show the same pattern that is often seen in early poster stamps: the earlier issues tend to be more easily found than the later issues. While this is a terrific and virtually complete collection, there is still plenty of room to further build this collection. You can work on expanding it by adding more imperforates / proofs, blocks, printing varieties, perforation varieties, paper varieties, a wide range of colors/shades (for some years), as well as finding examples that were applied on covers. While these some of the items in this collection are (only) in the "unusual" category, some do range all the way up to "very scarce". That being said, I suspect that 99.5% of Danish stamp collectors -- even those in Denmark -- have never seen a single example of any of these handsome roosters! Prior to this collection, in 50 years, I had only had perhaps one or two example each of only four or five of these items; and had never in-person seen any of the others! As a collection, this is priced at a fraction of the total of their individual prices!

Dallund Slot (Dallund Castle or Palace, situated at the lake of Dallund, 15 km north-west of Odense on the Danish island of Funen. The main building dates back to 1540.) Either an advertising label or a collector series label (???) with printer imprint "HAGEN & SØRENSEN." Appears to be from the 1910s-1920s. NH F-VF. The only example I have seen in 46 years.
