Trivia test for the bone idle.

It may not be well known Danish stamps were at one time
cancelled, then re cancelled again using a sewing machine.
Know why?

Play cards?
each king in a deck of 52 (4 only) represent a famous king
know them? which king which suit?

I presume then, this is Charlemagne,
although I have not, the other three in the set, or a 1995
catalogue to confirm.

correction:
each king represents a famous historical person

(There are three basic people in the world, those who can count,
and those who cannot)

Hi Rod,

http://cjoint.com/data/kygGodcrV7.htm

I think this is a queen rather then a king.
The stamp is one from a set of four issued under the title "Games" on
march 18, 1995. The other three represent a crossword puzzle, a chess
piece (king) and a scrabble board.

On www.delcampe.net you can easily find and buy them at facial value,
2.31 euro for the set. Search for it under Belgium using numbers 2592,
2593, 2594 and 2595.

If your interested in playing cards on stamps, Belgium issued a set of 4
kings on December 8th, 1973, picturing Lancelot, Oger, Minerve and
Cesar. Look for them using Belgian catalog numbers 1695 through 1698.

Best regards,

Sir Hystrix.

G'day Alan,
Gee, I'm having a bad day!
The question should be re submitted,
The sewing machine cancellations were a instigated by Iceland, not Denmark.
My memory had played tricks on me, the stamps I had seen
cancelled were from Denmark, hence the confusion.
My sincere apologies to everyone.

BTW you were ineligible for the prize for solving the
cards query, ( A tube of "Vegemite") our nations health food,
as it was banned in North America last Friday.

Sewing machines were used for experimental perforating
of Yemen's first issue 1925-1929.
