A "stamp" (cinderella?) with a bicycle. Nothing known
about it, not even at the Bicycle Stamp Club. Maybe someone, who knows
where it comes from? It also exists in green and blue.

ANSWERS:
C91 - This stamp has been a mystery for many years. I've no answer, on the
information that there are other denominations, because I've seen in blue.

I have been trawling through some stamps my grandfather collected over the
years and found this one among them. I'm not sure if it's a postage stamp
but it was found in among his Oriental collection of postage stamps.
I cannot find it listed anywhere and would be grateful for any
ideas/suggestions.

This a revenue from GB I think, with a little piece of metal
and on the backside a stamp too. I want to know more about it and its value.
Posted by Jan Langenberg on 16 Oct 2000 |
ANSWERS:
This is indeed a revenue from Great Britain, it was used from the reign of George 2 (1727-1760) up to the reign of queen
Victoria (1837-1901). The metal strip was used to attach the revenue stamp (mostly a blue paper with an impressed embossing)
onto the vellum document. The metal strip was then covered with a paper seal which had the initials of the reigning king or
queen. In your case the seal is missing. The metal strip was in these cases only visible from the front side of the document. | |

Are these locals from Germany? I want to know more about them and there value. Thank you.
Posted by Jan Langenberg on 16 Oct 2000 |
ANSWERS:
These are Government letter seals - probably issued around 1910 - they
were very popular, particularly in Central Europe, between the 1880's/
1915, and were still used extensively until the 1940's. There are many,
many thousands of them, because not only governments printed, but they
also served private companies and individuals - very often used in lieu of
a corner card.

A dutch item but can anyone identify better this "Interdepartementale Koeriersdienst"?
Posted by P. van Huuksloot on 26 Oct 2000 |
ANSWERS:
Might this label be used as a seal on
envelopes containing official documents,
sent from one Dutch Ministry to another?
They would be delivered by government
courier and not by the post office.
A similar service exists in the Canadian
Government, but there are no stamps.
I noticed that Mr. Blair Stannard has referred to a service in Canada using
the letter "K". While I cannot prove or disprove this statement, I am aware
of the letter "K" being used on tags for bags of mail intended to be
delivered to P.O.W.s interned across Canada. I have a letter "K" on a
'yellow' tag and my understanding is that this was an identification tag
meaning "Kriegefangenenpost", or "Prisoner Of War Mail."

I cannot determine the origin of this stamp. It appears to me to be British
because of the six pence value, and the cancel originates from 1893 or 1894.
Can anyone please tell me more about it?
Posted by Oscar van der Vliet on 22 Dec 2000 |
ANSWERS:
This is probably issued by the British Shipping Federation Limited.
This was the association of British ship owners. They collected
money at various times to support certain activities.
This may be a receipt for such a contribution.
