Baden (Allied Occupation) – Scott # 5N31, used

Description

Baden Scott #5N31 (1949–1951) — Used

This 6 Deutsche Pfennig brown stamp from Baden (Scott #5N31) portrays a woman in traditional regional costume with a loom and spinning wheel—an image celebrating the state’s long tradition of textile craftsmanship. Issued under the French occupation after World War II, the design pays tribute to everyday labor and local culture during Germany’s postwar recovery.

Part of the final Baden definitive series, these low-value denominations served common letter rates and are admired for their fine engraving and dignified realism. This example is postally used, showing a light circular cancel that complements the warm brown tone.
