[For those who are unfamiliar with French postal stationery, some items contain a 3 digit dating number, similar to a printer's batch number, to show when they were printed. The first figure is the last numeral in the year, and the second and third are a number between 01 and 52 representing the week of the year. So 705 would represent end of January/beginning of February in e.g. 1897].
I would like a list of all dating numbers which exist for the 30 centimes 'Carte Pneumatique' and the 50 centimes 'Carte Pneumatique Fermee'.
Not normally being a France collector, I do not have access to Storch or the French section of Higgins/Gage both of which may have the info. If anyone has access to such a source, I would be very grateful for a copy of the information.
Failing that, can anyone add to the following list of numbers which I either possess or have seen:
30c 'Carte Pneumatique' (postcard type only and NOT 'Carte Telegram')- 518, 617, 619, 647, 816, 817, 920, 922, 015, 025, 027, 121
50c 'Carte Pneumatique Fermee' - 128, 129, 130, 231, 232, 233
