  • Spyker cars on post stamps

    ... I found only two instances of Spyker cars on post stamps so far. Please keep your eyes open and find more. I am sure this is not all!

    1. Netherlands 2004. prestige booklet. The stamp on the left shows a Spyker C4 from 1922, and the one on the right is a C8 double12 R from 2003. The margin of the mini sheet shows the C8 wide body. What could the number plate "JFN - 50" mean?

    2. Nanumaga-Tuvalu 1987. 15c stamp as part of a set showing a 1906 Spyker.

    See figures.

      JFN - 50 stands for the 50th anniversary of the JeugdFilatelie Nederland. It’s an organisation of stamp collecting youth. YouthPhilately Holland. This was also the occasion for bringing out this special Spyker stampcollection.

      I hope this informs you AMZAMZ...

          ... after a long time, another stamp has surfaced. To me, it looks like an illegal edition dubbed "Kurilia". I am quite sure there is no such thing as official stamps for these little islands. They are located East of Sachalin (Russia), and North of Hokkaido (Japan). The islands belong to Russia.

          The stamp no 2 shows car #001.

              Gambia 1989

              ... just happened to find another set. Gambia 1989 Christmas stamps. The yellow car is labeled as 1919 Spyker. Which model is it? A model C1 (13/30HP)?

                Looks like a 13/30 C1 torpedo, but I'm not an expert
