Fernando Po, 1899

I found this one from Württemberg interesting. Revalued postcards aren't uncommon, but usually the new rate is just overprinted. In this case a new "stamp" was printed and the old one was marked out. Can anyone translate the back? I think it is a package notification.

Several nice pieces arrived yesterday, including one fully engraved postal card from Salvador and an early Argentine cover (1888, I think).

Here's a postal card that brought up a lot of questions for me. First: What is Nizam's Dominions? What does the overprint indicate? And why the strike-through lines -- or was that a way to precancel the card for use by the Indian Posts & Telegraphs Department?

Here is a "Seal of the Nizam" official stamp from Hyderabad

Before 1948 when the Union of India was founded there were several states in India that issued their own stamps and postal stationeries.When the union was founded some of their stock of postal stationeries was oveprinted and used as postal matter stationeries

Sorry, I've been busy and haven't been here for a while. Yes, it is a package notification, and I can translate it:

____ has arrived!

In order to avoid storage fees, the requested [number] hundredweight in [number] sacks should be picked up immediately on [day] the [date] precisely at [number] o'clock a.m./p.m. at the train station here.

The sacks will be delivered here by freight carrier Hirsch, to whom this card is to be shown.
