This stamp looks like a 1 Mark Samoa stamp with a G.R.I. 1
Schilling overprint, except that instead of saying "Samoa" it is labeled
"Luder & Bianchi" and it is cancelled with a handstamp stating "John
Bianchi". Is this a vanity stamp of some sort, and if so, why is it
overprinted? Or is it a packet stamp issued by a local shipping company
and mistakenly overprinted by the British? Any help identifying it
would be helpful.

ANSWERS:
#C55 in my opinion is a space-filler for a collection album.
Should it be real its value would be 25000 Michel DMark!!
The perforation is not as the germans would produce,
shabby perforated holes.
The label should give the name of a real german colony but of course Michel stamp catalogue for Germany does not
have an overseas section called: "Luder & Bianchi"!!!
May be Luder & Bianchi was a stamp dealer. | |

This stamp has me totally baffled. I have no idea what it is.
Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.

I think this is an Israely stamp but I couldn't locate it in Stanley Gibbons.

ANSWERS:
This is a label issued by the Jewish National fund in Israel.
If you are still interested in receiving more informations about the Israeli stamp # C57, I can tell
you it was issued in 1940 by the Jewish National Fund and shows a guard and a view of Hanita.
It is listed in the Jay L. Kaplove Jewish National Fund catalogue. | |

ANSWERS:
TC58 'Le Familistère' is (or was - my information is 20 years old!) a chain
of French grocery shops. A stamp of the same design and value, but in blue
was mentioned in Norman Williams' 'Cinderella Corner' (in 'The Stamp
Magazine') in October 1979 and January 1980, and was identified as a
trading stamp (i.e. like 'Green Shield' in GB - I don't know the
equivalents in other countries). A different design (with various values
overprinted on a basic design) inscribed 'La Familistère/Prix de Vente' is
mentioned in 'Cinderella Corner' for March 1980 and identified as price
labels for goods. | |

I need info on this one, thanks. The writings read: Empire Cherifien - 1927 - 1927 - Sidi-Mohamed - Sultan du Maroc.

ANSWERS:
C59 is one of a large series of poster stamps prepared for the
Syndicat d'Initiative du Maroc in the late 1920's. Most of the stamps
featured touristic views of French Morocco, but a few such as the one
illustrated, depicted political figures of importance in French Morocco at
that time. A listing of all known varieties of these poster stamps appeared
in Le Rekkas #21, 1998. Le Rekkas is the official bulletin of SPLM, a
society dedicated to the study of all aspects of Moroccan philately. | |

"Til Indtægt for den Nordlandske/Handelstands Understøttelseskasse".
I don't think this is Danish. It is Norwegian or Swedish...
Some sort of medical stamp... The last long word is the important one here.
Is this a revenue, a fund raiser, a seal, label? Medecine for seamen?... where from, when and why?

ANSWERS:
Not a positive answer but a guess: #C60 is certainly not Swedish, because the o with slash and
the a-e-ligature are not used in this language (they use o and a
with a double dot above the letter instead). Check the LaTeX handbook
or another book on typesetting for such special characters. I would
say, the stamp is either Danish or Norwegian (the two languages are
rather closely related). It has been issued for a tradesmen's mutual
insurance or support fund, maybe a health insurance company, either
as a fundraiser or as a membership stamp, probably the latter, and
meant for new members. Wait until the Nordic readers find it ;-)
A Norwegian stamp that was used to raise money for a small "union or
corporation of shops" (outside the main areas) in Nordland (part of Norway).
#C60 "Til Indtægt for den Nordlandske/Handelstands Understøttelseskasse".
It's NOT swedish, it's probably norwegian.
The text means something like
"For the Benefit of the 'Northlandic'/Trade Union Support Fund".
Maybe an unemployment fund.
Nordland is a 'county' in central/northern Norway. | |
