Denmark Poster Stamp - Ensomme Gamles Værn - Nursing Home - A&L #480

Description

[zipedit]
Denmark
Publicity Poster Stamp
The Danish organization EGV (Ensomme Gamles Værn - lit. Protection for the Lonely Elderly) was founded in 1900 by Hermann Koch, a pastor in København (Copenhagen). Koch founded the organization to help the elderly with issues of social inclusion. EGV was responsible for building the first nursing home for the elderly in Denmark. This stamp depicts several residents relaxing on the grounds of one such home. Based on the caption on the back of the stamp, this may have been at the property known as Bakkehuset. Bakkehuset was, at one time, the home of author Knud Lyne Rahbek and his wife Kamma, and they hosted many cultural events at their home, and allowed writers and other artists to live there at times. Bakkehuset was used, in the 19th century, as an asylum for children and the elderly, and it may have also been used by EGV in the 1910s.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such).
Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs.
A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum:
Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described.
* A Note about "Stock Images":
Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words:
"STOCK IMAGE"
