Resene Series

These stamps advertise Resene brand paint. Additional information about these stamps can be found on this page at the Resene Paints web site. Note that many of the stamp images on that page appear to show early design concepts, and that the stamps as issued differ considerably from these preliminary designs.

Iconic Resene Colours

These stamps appear to have been issued in rolls and without serial numbers. They do not show an imprint date; the Resene Paints web site reports them as having been issued during 2005, and the earliest postmark date reported to me on this issue is 8th May, 2006.
