Registration Labels - Why Not?

Vaitupu, Gilbert and Ellice Islands, now part of Tuvalu (see above)

Some great Reg Labels there folks,
the Oceania are fantastic BeeSee,
and Stampgals descriptions

Cannot solve the Chinese cover, sorry.

Is this allowed or must I leave ? its a rubber stamp not a label !

I found ONE Guatemala registered with a label !

I've got as far as determining its Japanese, Rod

thanks Stampgal.

Two lovely covers Phil...you can stay
rubber Registration strikes are correct surrency.

Herzog ?
was he not a well known stamp dealer?

Gland :
The western tip of Switzerland, in the Canton of Vaud.

Gland means "Acorn" and accordingly the coat of arms
is a chestnut tree.



A pretty young thing from Vaud

Here's a registered cover from Tyumen to Tobolsk (both in south west Siberia).

The Russian registration label has a Cyrillic capital Z (for "Zakaznoe" meaning "Registered").

Is this one of those "two countries separated by a common language" things?

I agree that the Vaud lass is easy on the eyes, and probably was responsible for many an overactive Gland.

Very amusing Cj, a good morning chuckle.

Nigel, a new one for me, I thought I had seen every type
of reg label going.

I wonder if Zakasnoe is in askphil
image purloined for my records.

I once suggested that a particular label was a countries "first"
which belonged to the Canton of Geneva.
Another suggested it was not, because it was a canton and not a country.
Can a country claim bragging rights from its canton?
Opinions?

Here's something a little different...

This card also shows the Russian Z but this time in a registration handstamp rather than a printed label.

This card has a local stamp from the time of the German occupation of Pskov in Russia (called "Pleskau" in German).

Very nice Nigel.

(Any idea what that card is for?)
Do I spot an asking price $55 on that card



Can there be any more romantic looking places than Pskov?
(this building is the one represented on your local stamp)



Some more local stamps from Pskov

Hi Rodney,

Arbeitsamt is German for "Labour Office" and I think it's an order to attend the office which has grim implications.

I do like your zemstvos - especially the multicoloured one!

Cheers.

Ahhh! a Zemstov, THAT'S a zemstov
always wondered what they were.

Great labels and great info everyone.
There is so much to collect and not enough time to collect it in !

Here are three labels from Egypt.
The first is inscribed O.H.M.S [On His Majesty's Service]and was in use up to 1922.
The other two labels are inscribed O.H.E.M.S. [On His Exhaulted Majesty's Service] and were used after Egypt was declared an Independent Kingdom on March 15th ,1922.
