Iceland: Stamps: Scott 217-221b: 1939-1945 Fish (Part I)
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1940 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.

217 Line Perf 14x14, irregular corners (Facit #240C4) [1941 1 eyr blue green Fish] Used with XF centering and neat cancellation. This "C4" line perforation was made by separate perforator tool strokes to make the horizontal vs vertical perforations, thus the four corner teeth are random in shape and appearance. Furthermore the perforator tool was worn out with bent hole-punches, thus the thickness of the teeth / spacing between the holes can vary. This line-perforated stamp is hard to find with nice centering. Examples this nice are seldom offered.

217 Line Perf 14x14, irregular corners (Facit #240C4) [1941 1 eyr blue green Fish] Used top margin 10-BLOCK with VF/F-VF centering and neat 27 October 1942 cancellations. The top sheet margin shows part of the center registration mark, thus identifying this block as containing positions 1-5 and 10-15. This "C4" line perforation was made by separate perforator tool strokes to make the horizontal vs vertical perforations, thus the four corner teeth are random in shape and appearance -- in this 10-block, one can see that all the perforation intersections are slightly different. Furthermore the perforator tool was worn out with bent hole-punches, thus the thickness of the teeth / spacing between the holes can vary. Blocks of the line-perforated stamps can be hard to find; use blocks even harder, and a 10-block such as this is very seldom seen. The total singles price of the stamps (respective to their centering) in this block would be $47.50, but this is MUCH SCARCER than that!

This "C2" comb perforation does NOT normally (unless by chance) have a bulls-eye perforation at center of a block; instead the in the center there are usually two nearby perforation holes. The top perforation corner teeth very small (or non-existent) at the sides and the bottom corner teeth are well-formed and wider at the sides. Priced near break-up value.

The color of the line perforated 5 aur stamp is paler / lighter than the other perforation 14x14 stamp. On these issues, the perforation differences are most obvious in blocks. This "C4" line perforation was made by separate perforator tool strokes to make the horizontal vs vertical perforations, thus the four corner teeth are random in shape and appearance. Furthermore, the perforator tool was worn out with bent hole-punches, thus the thickness of the teeth / spacing between the holes can vary. This line-perforated stamp is hard to find with nice centering -- this is tremendously better than usual. Single NH stamps with such nice centering sell for $110 EACH ($440 for four)! Blocks of this stamp are rarely offered, but then any examples of this perforation are very scarce!

This line-perforated stamp is very hard to find even as singles. Used F-VF singles without perforation damage would fetch $18 each. I have not recorded previously having a Used 4-block of this stamp (in any quality) in 48 years. Despite the perforation quality, this is a very scarce block.

220 (Facit 243C1) [1939 7 aur deep green Fish] Used XF-Superb 4-block with centrally placed 1940 cancellation. The 7 aur stamp is the only Fish denomination that exists with only type (C1) of perforation, thus a 7 aur block is helpful as an identification guide. This "C1" comb perforation has a bulls-eye perforation at center of block, top and bottom perforation corner teeth are regular, with the top corner perforation teeth thin on the sides and bottom corner perforation teeth thicker on the sides. Nice Used blocks, especially with an early date as this one has, of the 7 aur Fish are scarce and seldom offered. Used single stamps with this centering sell for $16 each; blocks are much scarcer!

221 Line Perf 14x14, irregular corners (F#245C4) [1940 10 aur green Fish, Line Perforation 14 x 14 (1941) ] NEVER HINGED with XF-Superb centering. Wonderfully fresh example with great color, perfect line perforations, and pristine gum. This "C4" line perforation was made by separate perforator tool strokes to make the horizontal vs vertical perforations, thus the four corner teeth are random in shape and appearance. Furthermore the perforator tool was worn out with bent hole-punches, thus the thickness of the teeth / spacing between the holes can vary. This line-perforated stamp is hard to find with nice centering. Examples this nice are rarely offered, but then any examples of this perforation are very scarce! A key stamp in the Fish set; very hard to find NH and well centered.

Wonderfully fresh example with great color, perfect line perforations, and pristine gum. This "C4" line perforation was made by separate perforator tool strokes to make the horizontal vs vertical perforations, thus the four corner teeth are random in shape and appearance.

Orlof 10 aur Overprint on Scott #221 (Facit #245C2) [10 aur green Fish, comb perf 14x14 thin tooth at top] Mint with VF centering; this example is actually NH, but has an area of gum discoloration (from an old stock page), thus cannot be described as NH. This example looks wonderfully fresh from the front. This is the most commonly found Orlof overprinted stamp, however, well centered examples are scarce. The underlying stamp exists with three perforation types, logically however, the only overprinted version recorded is the last one printed. Theoretically other perforations could exist.
