1950 Summer Stamps (Zomerzegels)

Netherlands · 1950 · Set of 6: 2+3c, 5+3c, 7½+3c, 10+4c, 12½+4c, 20+5c

A set of six surcharged stamps depicting various aspects of post-war Dutch reconstruction, including a resistance monument, a dike worker, Rotterdam architecture, an agricultural machine, a bridge repair, and a motor ship.

These 'Zomerzegels' (Summer stamps) from 1950 were issued to raise funds for charitable causes, likely related to the ongoing post-World War II recovery and reconstruction efforts in the Netherlands.
