📮 Dahomey 1967 – Konrad Adenauer Stamp(s)

• Dahomey issued stamps in **1967 commemorating Dr. Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of West Germany (1876–1967).
• These are often listed in stamp catalogs under Scott C58 or similar catalogue numbers, described as Dahomey 1967 “Adenauer” issues.
• The design typically shows a portrait of Adenauer — and some collectible listings describe it with the theme of art/paintings, though it is essentially a portrait stamp rather than a classic ‘fine art painting’ series.

🖼️ Art & Painting Themes?

• Some Dahomey 1967 issues also include other art/paintings topics in their overall stamp program (e.g., other 1967 painting-themed stamps), but the Adenauer stamp itself is mainly a portrait commemorative issue rather than depicting a specific old master painting.

📌 Collectible Formats

• These stamps appear in different formats in the collector market:
  • Single stamp issues showing Adenauer’s portrait.
  • Miniature sheets/blocks (e.g., 4-stamp blocks).
  • First Day Covers and cancellations used in 1967 (e.g., special cancellations from Cotonou).

🗓️ Context

• Konrad Adenauer (1876–1967) was a significant European statesman whose passing in 1967 led many countries — including Dahomey — to issue stamps in tribute.
• Dahomey stamps of this era are collectible for their historical interest and are catalogued by major stamp reference guides like Scott/Michel/Stanley Gibbons.
