Stamps/french allegory stamps3 messages

hello,

I have inherited a beautiful stamp collection from a deceased family member and am inventorying it ...

Where possible I would add missing strings ...

However, as an absolute layman, I encountered some obstacles when making an inventory ...

For example, the allegory series as described in the following places:

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1767295-1900-allegorie-type-merson

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1767345-1906-allegorie-type-merson

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/4078615-1916-allegorie-type-merson?scope=4078615

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1767563-1917-allegorie-type-merson

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1767915-1920-allegorie-type-merson

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1809853-1925-allegorie-type-merson

https://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/postzegels/reeksen/1775349-1927-allegorie-type-merson

Specifically, I have some stamps that I could possibly place in these different series. However, how can I determine which sequence is the correct one?

They are either MNH, or canceled without legible date ... I can't deduce anything from that either ...

Can someone show me around?

Thank you very much in advance!

Mvg

maybe an example: I have a 40 cent allegory stamp, which I can possibly date as 1900 or 1917.

at first sight I don't really see a difference between the two images in the catalog

Hallo User,

Bij het uitzoeken van mijn zegels, gebruik ik altijd als leidraad de website van Colnect.

Misschien is dit iets voor jou. Er staat vaak bij een zegel " Klik om varianten te zien". Dan kun je zien welke varianten er zijn.

Als voorbeeld:

Ik hoop, dat je hier wat aan hebt.

Groet,

Yvonne

Hello User,

When selecting my stamps, I always use the Colnect website as a guideline.

Maybe this is for you. A stamp often says " Click to see variants". Then you can see which variants there are.

As an example:

I hope it is of some use for you.

Greeting,

Yvonne
