vintage stamps for World Cup 2010 countries

vintage stamps for World Cup 2010 countries

In honor of the World Cup 2010 tournament, I thought it would be an interesting challenge to find a single vintage stamp from my collection for every country participating in the games. Most of the postage stamps below are from between 1900 through the mid-1930s, with a few as recent as the early 1970s. Through the process I caught up a little on history and encountered some issues along the way.

Algeria c. 1939

Argentina

Australia c. 1913

Brazil c. 1890s

Cameroon c. 1925
