Description: I recently purchased an estate lot that came from a family that lived in The Congo in the fifties and early sixties. They had purchased mint stamps at the post office and they were still in the tropical packaging that the post office supplied to separate the stamps. There were large quantities of some of the stamps as well as used on paper and some letters. There was also some documentation including permits to be in the area at the time. This was a very tumultuous time in the region after Congo received independence and many parties were fighting for control of the huge natural resources that the country holds. These stamps are Mint Unhinged and were purchased in the Congo at the time of release. I have more than 5 sets of these so the picture is representative of the MNH stamps you will receive. If purchasing multiple items from overseas please request invoice and I will adjust postage costs. IMPORTANT: Delivery times are extremely variable. Please understand once posted I have no control over delivery.
