I had thought these stamps were from Romania (the currency), but I cannot find them in the Scott catalogue so I'm surely wrong. Could one of you please help me in identifying them. Thanks so much. Donna  |

According the inscript, these are charity stamps for Romanian in Transsylvania (in 1915 part of Hungary), these are Romanian stamps. Here you have the full set (in 2 colors). Were postally used. |

I believe it is Romanian as the "Timbru de Ajutor" means Postal Tax. Perhaps issued under an occupation or a local Cinderella ? Also the monetary term Bani is Romanian. Could also be a Postage due or perhaps a Soldiers relief fund. |

`pentru ardeleni`=for Transsylvanians (Transsylvania lat., Erdély hungarian, Ardeal romanian). I didn`t find it in Michel Katalog, but a Romanian Stamp Catalogue (2006)lists it. No watermark (although some stamps can have vertical lines as wmk), perforation 11 1/2. CV is given in Euro, MNH,MH= 5 Eur, used= 10 Eur, on cover 150 Eur. |

Thank you so much for the info! I will keep them with my Romanian stamps (in a miscellaneous/tax type category).

Thanks

The prcatice is alive and well in Perth Puzz,
Some Italian builders still have (usually) a brace of lions
on their gate pillars.
I bid on a reproduction Minerva for my back garden some years
ago, I thought she looked so cool.
I lost interest at $800 as the price climbed.
