Denmark Poster Stamps - FDF - Frivilligt Drenge Forbund - 1913

Description: [zipedit] Denmark Fundraising & Publicity Poster Stamps FDF (Frivilligt Drenge- og Pige-Forbund) is one of the largest Christian organizations for children and youth in Denmark. The aim of FDF is to share the Gospel with children and youth. Since 1902 FDF has been an independent and voluntary part of the youth work of the Danish national church. FDF was founded in 1902 by the young Copenhagen architect Holger Tornøe. In the beginning only boys could be members of FDF. The activities were first and foremost marching exercises (drills) accompanied by music, talks and Bible studies. Soon FDF started arranging summer camps where boys were introduced to outdoor and camp life. In 1952 FPF, an organization similar to FDF but for girls, was founded, and in 1974 the two organizations merged as FDF/FPF. The name was in 1994 changed to just FDF.This is a strip of three stamps printed se-tenant with backprint. I am unsure of the full sheet format. The backprint translates to: "Chief supplier for F.D.F. Carl Lønberg Gothersgade 115 (street address) København." The street address mentioned was, in fact, the location of one of three buildings in København, used by the KFUM (Danish YMCA). Gothersgade 115, also known as "The Castle" or "The Fortress", was built in 1898/1901 and was used for meetings of the København branch of the FDF from their beginning. On the ground floor was a men's haberdashery (Cravats & Underbeklædnings-Magasin) run by Carl Lønberg. Lønberg also leased a space in the building's basement, which he ran as the FDF Depot, supplying uniforms and equipment for the FDF (as well as other scouting supplies). Today the address is known as "Europa-Huset" (Europe House) as the European Commission Representation in Denmark and the European Parliament Information Office in Denmark have been located there since 2006.

Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
