1984 Stamp (1987 double stamp reissue)

image contributed by Dick Aakulm 12 April 2006

These two stamps were issued individually in 1984.

SG 8 1.40 markka Aland flag (listed and illustrated on my web site)
SG 9a 1.50 markka Midsummer pole.

These two stamps are also listed (among others) at http://stamptraders.com

It would seem that the two stamps were issued together in (July ?) 1987 with a charity surcharge for first day issue.

2006 Flag Tattoo stamp

On September 7 this year there will be a new addition to the list of flag stamps from Åland, a flag tattoo!

Åland Post will issue a booklet of stamps featuring tattoos and one of the stamps is seaman's tattoo. The philatelic newsletter of Åland Post explains: "The seaman's tattoo is placed on the seaman Mikael Sandholm's right forearm. It shows a ship, the flag of Åland and the text 'Sailor's grave'. 'Sailor's grave' is a common seaman's tattoo, reminiscent of fleeting life and the powers of the sea."

For further explanation and a photo see Ålandsposten Filateli, No. 2, 2006, p. 10-12.
