Starting in 1956, the Scandinavian countries issued "Norden" stamps to commemorate their cooperation in postal operations. The Norden stamp issues have come to encompass all eight current Scandinavian/Nordic stamp-issuing entities. "Norden" stamps are issued only every few years, currently every other year. At first, the stamps all had a common design, but now they are different designs, but share a common theme.
For 2004, 2006, and 2008, the "Norden" countries have issued stamps on the theme of Nordic Mythology. For 2008, the specific theme is "Mythical Places".
Each of the 8 countries has issued a souvenir sheet; two of the countries also have matching regular sheet stamps issues. The eight souvenir sheets are available in a wonderful pack / folder (and of course individually too), titled "Top of the World of Stamps". All these are in stock, along with first day covers, maximum cards where issued, and official packs from Denmark and Norway. Many consider the subject to be highly interesting and the stamps beautiful. If you know of something that should be added to this list, please let me know.
There is a shipping charge for orders within the U.S. below $40.00 and for all orders outside the U.S.
The 2004 (first series) items area available here.
The 2006 (second series) items area available here. |
