LORD OF THE RINGS
- THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.
In December 2001 the New Zealand produced movie "The Fellowship of the Ring" based on the first of J.R.R. Tolkien books was released world wide to critical acclaim. On the 4th of December 2001 New Zealand Post paid tribute to this epoch movie by issuing a series of postage stamps with designs derived from scenes out of the movie. The issue consists of 6 basic stamp designs but each design comes in both gummed and self-adhesive versions which differ considerably. The gummed versions also come in individual souvenir sheets. We offer the following items for sale but warn that current demand will mean some items may soon become unavailable so early ordering is advisable. For ordering details click here |
