This year’s Europa stamps, which are issued by the Member States of the Organization of European postal companies, Posteurop, rely on the topic of toys. The Liechtenstein edition includes two special stamps and shows Liechtenstein play figures made in the 1940s, a “polar bear” (face value CHF 1.40) and a “goat” (face value CHF 1.40). The artistic implementation focuses on the actual purpose of the figures, playing. Thus, the images look like snapshots of childhood scenes: The polar bear enjoys the air in the freezer of the refrigerator and the goat climbs  a lemon proudly. (read more)

”We shall either find a way or make one.” Bearing these wise words in mind, the idea of an Åland auction house was born said its Director Anita Häggblom from Aland Post.

Following consultations with collectors and other interested parties our ideas eventually became more tangible and, today, we invite you to acquaint yourself with the world’s first auction house run by a postal administration.

Åland Auctions is a website auction house, and we plan to hold two to three auctions every year. Initially, all objects will be older philatelic material such as stamps, covers, cards, coins et cetera. Future auction objects may also include other types of collectibles. Bear in mind that all objects put up for auction are outside consignments and have not been submitted by Åland Post. Åland Post has employed an expert in the field, Tom Granberg, as appraiser and auctioneer.

Join them for an enthralling adventure in the world of collection, so that we may together create an interesting and inspiring auction platform for the entire world.

Worldstampnews.com fully supports the project and wishes Aland Post best of luck with their exciting new website
