Austro-Hungarian (Austria-Hungary) Empire Postmarks

Last one for today.

Here is one from Itzkany--Bahnhof, now Romania, dated January 3 1897.
Note: Bahnhof translates to "Railway Station".
Receiver postmark: Wien (now Vienna) Austria, January 6, 1897.

Enjoy

Wooow...amazing that `Itzkany` card. Former border bw. Romania and Austro-Hungarian Empire (now a suburb of Suceava) in Romania. Railway station (Bahnhof) built in 1871. Guess it is a sought-after cancellation, unfortunately have no catalogue for it...
As for Nadudvar, revstampman, there is only one Nadudvar with postoffice bw. 1874-1913. On the other hand the borders of the districts (comitats) changed from time to time. Hajdu and Szabolcs where neigbouring districts. Nadudvar used bw. 1823-1913 seven different postmarks (that includes pre-stamp period too). On a postmark used bw. 1873-1884 appears `SZABOL. M.`= Szabolcs megye. So probably it belonged to Hajdu district, then for a period to Szabolcs, as these too were neigbours.( Today Nadudvar is in Hajdu-Bihar county, Hungary, a county made of territories of former Hajdu and Bihar districts. Actual neighbouring county in the North is Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg county, obviusly made of what remained in Hungary from 3 former counties of Szabolcs, Szatmar and Bereg) Still there remains one more Nadudvar, that was probably a small willage without post-office. I have a handbook, I`ll look for the location of all (former) Nadudvars, but today there exist only one, mentioned above.

Those are great cards, with both send and receive cancels! And nice historic information Wadmalatz.

wadmalatz, All of what you say is correct except the other Nadudavar's probably did not have post offices. I was just using it as an example of names. Such as Kisvarda, Nagyvarda(now Nagyvárad, Romania), in English they would be little Varda and Great or Big Varda.

Okay, time for more postmarks...
I didn't know anything of Sulina before looking up this one...



Sulina is at the mouth of the Danube, and is the easternmost port in current-day Romania. I found a colorful history of the town here:

One of the interesting stories occurs at the start of the Crimean War, where a stray bullet killed the captain of a British ship anchored at Sulina, and thereafter the British bombarded the town off the map. Also, ten countries had consulates at Sulina.

Next up is another Triest, similar to one or two posted here earlier:



Both are a bit rough, but are interesting for their marks.

Quick note. Some of you might be interested in a parallel thread. Perfins on Austrian Stamps during 1850 to 1918 Era. I have put up some Czech usuages on Austrian stamps and a few have poskmarks. Go take alook if interested.

Hi guys intersting topic. with all the pics of maps and stamps.
I have this really thin stamps thats is made of waxed paper,
it is hand cancelled. it is kind of a oddity im my opinion.
If you have any additional info about it please let me know.
see pictures below, the first is just to show how transparent the stamp is.

best regards mrmagic

That looks to be Austria #346 in the Forbin catalogue of revenue stamps.

Prag, then Bohemia, now Prague Czech Republic

I hace this stamp from what I think is Austria 1 kreutzer.
It has an interesting cancellation on it.
looks like it is a text of some kind.
Is it perhaps from a newspaperwapper or, why the text on the stamp.

Thanks in advance guys

newspaper stamp. I think it was mentioned in another thread here how the stamps were affixed to the paper then the news printed on top of it. I could be wrong. Feel free to correct me, anyone.

Hi there again James.
I thought I post some picture of some french newspaper wrappers. As the name suggest they wrap around the whole newspaper.
Since they are quite big I havent been able to post pictures of them here. ( yet ). Iǘe tried to crop, but they are still too large.
I youŕe correct, then it makes sense regarding the text.
Lets see if anyone else has some theory about the stamp.

Hi mrmagic,

James is right. This is a newspaper stamp that's been applied to the paper before printing.

Here are four from my collection that I've posted before on another board:

Thanks Nigel and james.
I didnt know that stamps could be used in that way.

Thanks for your help guys

I`m sorting these Austrian stamps, issued in 1883, now just looking for watermark-fragments.Till now 23 with small fragments, but I found one green 3 kr with a full E letter . Still hundreds of them, unchecked, anyway, going to be rechecked for perforation. And now a question: Michel-Europa lists 4 perforations:
A= 9 1/2 B= 10 C= 9 D= 10 1/2.
What about Scott and SG?



these have wmk, up the one with full E (pmk. ...itenplatz/13/10/Wien)
