ANSWERS:
These are italian revenues circa 1942. Marche per autotrasporti.
This is the way these pre WWII revenues are issued, and are tough to find in
the 3 strip, as they were designed to be torn, one for receipt, one for
document, one for some file or another. Listed in DeMagistris catalogue. | |
 #182 | I do not have a clue what these stamps are.

These are also italian revenues circa 1936. Marche per autotrasporti, the
third stamp is missing. It also shows an auto vignette as in your previous scan. |

Hungarian exhibition seal, from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This
seal comes in several color combos. I cannot remember the name of the catalog
listing this, but it is listed.
The Catalogue listing these labels was produced by Cazin & Rochas in 1914.

 #185 | This one is clearly from El Salvador,
but where is it listed? Is it a postage stamp?
Posted by Andrew Freeston on 19 Nov 98
Revenue stamp of El Salvador, listed in a catalog by Joe Ross, 8036 Rio
Linda Blvd - Elverta, Ca. 95626, which he published in 1994. |

#186. This is definitely an Italian fiscal stamp but I cannot
give any further information (not having a catalogue of such stamps).
#186 This is an italian revenue stamp from 1885 and is one of a serie of five. They are general revenue stamps and used
in huge quantity. You can find them in the revenue cataloge from Paolo De Magistris named:
"Catalogo Generale delle Marche da Bollo Italiane". |
 #187 | I do not have a clue what this stamp is.

Nr. 187 The man on the picture is Jan Zizka z Trocnova, as it is written on the stamp.
He was the military leader of the Czech Husite (named after Jan Hus)
movement in the 15th century.
He could be found also on Czechoslovakia banknotes. Naturally, this
label has nothing to do with postage. |
 #188 | What this french stamp was for?
Posted by Andrew Freeston on 19 Nov 98
#188: I believe this is a fiscal stamp.
#188 This is a revenue stamp of France, used as a general revenue on documents like paid bills and invoices.
It is very common and listed in the special edition on revenue stamps of France by Yvert. |
 #189 | I do not have a clue what this stamp is.
It appears to me that the centre is missing. Does anybody have any information
on such a variety?
Posted by Andrew Freeston on 19 Nov 98
Stamp #189 would appear to be from Thailand, Scott no. 109 issued in
1907.
#189: the centre appears to be missing because the stamp was
printed in an ink which ran when soaked, as a security measure (like
many other stamps printed by De La Rue). |
 #190 | This is the best
scan I could do of this austrian stamp as it appears to be printed on rice
paper. What is it?
Posted by Andrew Freeston on 19 Nov 98
This is an Austrian documentary revenue. The date is on the value tablet. This
stamp is printed on goldbeater's paper. The design is printed in reverse,on
the back, before the gum is applied. This is a similar process as was tried on
some US revenue essays. It ensures that the stamp will never be soaked off
document, washed, and reused. |
