Hi to all

I thought I would post these, they are from the family accumulation.
The postmarks are very clear, and apart from the staining on one stamp it is a nice block on partial cover
Regards,
Horamakhet

I'm not familiar with Monaco, but I doubt they had postage stamps in 1845, let alone perforated stamps. Is there a misprint on the cancellation?

It's dated May 8, 1913. The 45 refers to the time of cancel - 16:45 or 4:45PM.

Time of 18:45 would be 6:45 P.M.

The year date may more easily be seen by flipping the original scan upside down (see right-hand stamp) . . .



. . . and also comparing to more easily seen postmarks:
(scan courtesy of Delcampe seller Shui in France)


European dates are mostly (?) printed in the format day / month / year.

Hi jhlovell

I would think possibly the same as the others, but why it was done I have no idea as the stamp is not in the accumulation of world stamps.
