Stamps of the Thule Local Post are quite popular and attractive. They served postal duty 1935-37 and exist (scarce) on postally used covers. The 25 øre (#3) was issued a little later than the others and has a significantly taller design but the same stamp / perforation size, thus it always has smaller margins and is always less well centered. The numbering is from the Facit Catalog.

Thule Local Post complete set of 5 IMPERFORATE REPRINTS in compact pairs (vertical pairs of the horizontal format stamps; horizontal pairs of the vertical format stamps). Ungummed, as issued, on bright white paper. These reprints were printed by typography (as were the originals) using original cliches. The cliches had been located in the Royal Greenland Trade Department (KGH) archives while the 1979 Red Cross Thule souvenir sheets and Thule souvenir cards were being developed (both also included reprints using original cliches). DAKA GF5 1999 states that these imperforate reprints appeared in 1995-96, but my database shows that I first obtained some in early 1993 (and they could have been available for some time before that). I recall that, at the time, Eric von Wowern indicated to me that they had been produced with supervision and knowledge of the Royal Greenland Trade Department (KGH) and for their benefit and/or charity fundraising. Other than what I purchased at the time, I have seen only a few sets of pairs, one set of 20-blocks (which quickly sold), and one set of sheets (which also quickly sold). They do not seem to have been distributed in large quantity or very widely. In my experience they are scarce. With VF full margins and in pristine condition!
