Linear markings (in French: "Griffe Linéaire")



Arrival cds Contres on the back of the card.
______________________________________________________________
The use of Linear markings were applied for 3 different reasons.

1. (Arrival) Mail that was not cancelled at the post office upon departure for
different reasons (late pick up,sorting errors). The Linear marking (s) would
be applied on the stamp (s) at the destinations post office. These types of
markings are the most common.Sometimes an arrival cds was also applied
on incoming mail.

2.(Departure) Linear markings applied at departure.This could occur when the
letter was late for the daily postmarking.A simple linear marking was applied
by the postal clerk with the departures town name.Mail posted in train
stations would have the word "gare' in the Linear marking.For example,
lyon - Gare.

3. (Transit) linear markings with the name of a given department were applied
on un cancelled stamps through transit.These transit markings were
applied in mail sorting centers.A postal clerk would notice an un cancelled
letter or card and apply the department marking.In practice though,most
of the mail lacking cancels would just slip through during the transit.
Only upon arrival at the destination post office,a Linear marking was applied
with the towns name.

Below some examples of different Linear markings.Most Linear markings are
in a single line.Some exist with double lines.



Double line types.

PAQUEBOT MARKINGS

covers or postcards carry the local cds of the port post office.

Never seen the Belgian wheel marking explained as French.
I would have thought that was applied in Belgium, as the French stamp was not cancelled.

France
this roulette was used in Belgium to cancel the postage stamps on the courier coming from abroad and which had not been cancelled at the start


The Belgian "Pizza Wheel"



Used on Canadian

Nice to see the full boxed "paquebot" on the Stamboul cover. I suppose it's probably pictured in Hosking, but it's still nice to see one in the wild.
