Stamps Helvetia was founded in 1995. Initially conceived as a hobby, the business activities intensified after the move to Basel in 2004. The first online auction took place in the same year.
Subsequently, net price lists or special price lists were also sent out. Since 2004, we have regularly conducted two online auctions per year. Since 2010, we have also been present at the stock exchanges in Basel and the surrounding area.
Our focus is on classic Swiss stamps from 1843 onwards, especially the Strubel issues, but other stamps up to 1960, especially airmail, are also well represented. Foreign lots now account for about a third of our online auctions. For European countries, we can offer classic stamps, better frankings, or other stamps such as colonies or airmail.
We value classic stamps and collections with substantial value, so we can offer them at our online auctions. In addition to these online auctions, we also offer small lots online.
