A highly significant and rare historical collection of vintage cinderella propaganda stamps issued by the Underground Post of Ukraine (Pidpilna Poshta Ukrainy / ППУ). These specialized stamps were produced abroad by the Foreign Sections of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) between the 1940s and 1970s to raise funds and promote global awareness for Ukraine's modern independence struggle.
The beautifully illustrated set features iconic historical, scout, and military courier themes. Highlights include the complete multi-color series dedicated to regional tourism and communication with the homeland, a unique "Plast" Ukrainian Scouting movement commemorative stamp ("Plastova Poshta"), distinct "Couriers of the Underground Post" globe variants, and the 1921–1951 "Bazar" tragedy memorial issue. The lower row is beautifully anchored by a two-color 10th-anniversary revival combination strip and a prominent high-value 90-shahiv National Trident (Tryzub) design. Standing out for its premium quality, every single piece in this uniform layout maintains flawless original gum. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition with full original character, crisp perfs, and no cancellation or hinge marks.
Features:
- Set of 14 vintage stamps (exceptional Ukrainian exile and diaspora cultural issues)
- Authentic Underground Post of Ukraine (ППУ) political cinderella stamps
- Circa 1940s to 1970s Cold War era diaspora productions
- Includes sought-after thematic lines: Ukrainian Scouting (Plast), underground courier routes, and national heraldry
- Features a 2-stamp horizontal combination sheet segment/pair in the lower-left row
- Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition (unused, pristine mint condition with full original gum, zero postmarks or hinge traces)
The set includes stamps with various symbolic "shahiv" denominations from the exile series, such as:
- 5, 10, 25, 30, 35, 55, and 90 shahiv.
