May Day Poster Stamps from Denmark

May Day in Sønderburg, Denmark

In keeping with this month’s theme of “mostly politics” for the bulletin, and my love for those fancy little ø’s, here is søme inførmatiøn abøut a series øf stamps for May 1st from Sønderburg, Denmark. Sønderburg is a small port town on the southeast side of Denmark, so it is surprising that a May Day stamp was issued for thirty years (except for the World War 2 era). They are naturally quite rare.

Many thanks to Danish expert Ray Petersen for this article.
