The inspiration for this topical was taken from the thread "same design - different value", however, in this case, I'm looking for the same design on a STAMP versus the same (or reasonably close to the same) design used on a similar EMBOSSED ENVELOPE or POSTAL CARD (any postal stationery item). Here's one to start it off:


C50 Airmail and UXC3 Postal Card:





There are quite a few of them (at least for the US). Let's see some others!

Almost all of the postal stationery from Germany and its colonies (at least prior to 1945) matched a stamp design.

Anschluss (Annexation) of Austria to Germany.




There were two versions of the stamps issued on April 8, 1938

Larger dark green by German State Printer, Berlin
Smaller dark blue green by the Austrian State Printer, Vienna
Both printed via photogravure.

The designer's (E. Puchinger) initials are easily
recognizable on the Vienna version.

You'd be lucky to get a bottle of beer for them.

I don't have scans of most of my German postal stationery, but I do have scans of the German Colonies.

German Colonial postal stationery follows a standard pattern across the colonies.

The early postal stationery issues are overprints of German postal stationery, just like the early colonial stamps.



With the introduction of the Yacht Issues, the postal stationery switched to Yachts.




Private postal stationery was also printed. The early private issues used the overprints.



The later private postal stationery switched to the Yachts.

Hier is an interesting story


Postal stationery exists as long as postage stamps. The world's first postal stationery was issued in 1840, United Kingdom.

Here is an example of an early Austrian postcard (1876)







I do not have the yellow stamp but a blue one.

Another interesting case.

There is a difference between private postal stationery and an official edition. Private postal stationery is made often with philatelic background, a third-party commissioned by the postal authority and are not sold to the public, but are only available to the client. Here is an example of a private handling by an Association, which mainly was used for the correspondence with the members. Here, two value stamps are printed, because at the time there was not a postage stamp of 35 PFENNIG.

One more .....

As an example, here is an issue of the American occupation zone from 1945, which was originated in Cheb/Eger in the former Sudetenland. For this foreign fees (45 PF) were requird, 5 PF was printed on the card, the rest are stamps. It also ran by the US postal censorship. Because the recipient moved to Neuburg, the card was forwarded.

How about that?





here are my stamps




now it is good night...more to come...

Canada has, for a few years now, been issuing postcards with a postage paid indicia the same design as the stamps issued.

This is my feeble attempt (well heck, it was fun) at creating a maxi card on the first day (I think it was), and now I see it does not fit the true Maxi card rule even.

The indicia looks like a stamp even, but is printed on with tagging on one vertical side only while the stamp below and on front, has tagging on all 4 sides. I wish we had circular postmarks here, or I knew where to go for that pictorial postmark (which I know now). Live and learn.

(I stuck that explanation note on to add a bit of interest.)
