General Philatelic/Identify This? : Help identifying these 3 stamps please

I have 3 stamps I can not identify.

At the top of the stamp are the words TE BETALEN and the bottom word is PORT. They are very light colored ( maybe light blue or light blue green or maybe pink (I am very color blinded and have to guess)) and the value of the stamps are the same color as the rest of the stamps. The values are 1/2 cent, 1 cent, and 2 cents.

I think they are Netherlands but am not sure about that. All three stamps are VF MNH.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Loren...

TE BETALEN is Dutch and means "to pay" and PORTO indicates for Postage Due. They could be from the Netherlands, or from any of the Dutch colonies, such as Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, Dutch Indies. If you could provide a picture, we could probably nail it down for you.

Image Not FoundTerry,

I have tried to provide a picture but SOR says that it is too big. I will keep playing with the settings in the camera untilo I find a setting the SOR will accept.

Loren

I found a picture size that SOR will accept. Hopefully this will help. Like I said the color of the stamps is very light in color.

Okay, Loren....

I believe you have some of the Postage Due stamps from the Netherlands issued around 1912-1913. The color listed is pale blue. Scott catalog value around 25c-30c each.

Hope that is helpful.

Identifying the color is the key to these stamps and from the picture you provided, it will be very difficult. Perhaps you could scan the stamps as opposed to photographing them as that would provide a better rendition of the color?

Likely the 1896 or 1912 issues of lesser value

Since Loren states that the value is in the same color as the stamp, and the the color is very pale, I believe them to be from the 1912 issue. The 1881 and 1896 sets have the values in black.

re: Help identifying these 3 stamps please

I think these are Dutch postage dues from the 1921-1938 series. Same design by Schmidlin but without the chain. Colour is pale blue in various shades. Pity that the picture is a bit vague, I cannot see whether there is a circle or a chain round the center with the value.
See my website for more details.

Loren,

I realize that this response is about a year late, but I don't think that these stamps are from the Netherlands. Given the shade (some sort of lilac), I believe that they are from Surinam (issue of 1913-31). The middle one has a different perforation, so is from the last printings of 1937-39.

In any case, they have minimal value.
