In the U.S., balloon stamps of that era are listed as semi-official issues under airmails, and are quite pricey.

Can you be more specific!
Are those german stamps like these? :
1933 Hamburg
Or are they American, Belgium, Dutch, French ?
The three pictured are the ones that Jim has. But they have not been canceled.
Oke,

Hockeynut, You scored a "hat trick" with the answer. Jim will be very happy!
Thank you!
A friend has come across several of these stamps and is wondering about their value in mint, but hinged condition. I do not have scans of his finds but we have identified them as Mi 21a, 21b and 21c. Found used copies (on post cards) in several auctions, but nothing for a mint, hinged stamp
Thanks in advance,
George (aka biggeorge)
