The first Dutch stamps were issued unperforated in 1852. These stamps had to be cut out of the sheets with scissors. Probably, at that time, the invention of perforation was unknown in The Netherlands.Introduction of perforation in NetherlandsImperforated Wilhelmina stampsOn January 20th last we met a gentleman in Twente who asked for twenty stamps of 5 cent. He received imperforated stamps. Apparently he was in a bad mood. He attempted to loose a stamp for a payment receipt and destroyed a few stamps. He looked at me and I told him that this was caused by the strike of the typographical craftsmen.Discovery imperforated Wilhelmina stampsSpoils of warAfter the war unperforated stamps of the Konijnenburg type appeared and were sold to collectors.
