Perfins On Austrian Stamps During 1850 -1918 Era

Any interest in chatting over Perfins issued in Austria during the
Austro-Hungarian Empire Era (1850 through 1918)?
This can also encompass all Perfins used in Levant during that period.
I have a mediocre collection of these issue (and building) but thought it would be interesting to me and others to share information obtained during ones collecting of these early items from Austria.

What say?

I don't think I have any, but would love to see some!

I am working up pages for display. Will post when I get them finished in a few days. May take longer, have a small pilt to do.
I am alos in the research mode, so it may take even longer to get names...
Be patient grasshopper!

Here are my two:





Incidentally, I'm bidding on a lot of Austrian stamps at the moment which includes a stamp that has the same perfin as that shown just above, except that it's inverted.

Austrian Levant
Type 3
Wiener Bank Verein Constantinople Smyrna
(after 1908-1913)

Scan is "blah" probably 8 years old when I had a poor scanner.


(Punctures are inverted possibly due to operator
folding the stamp sheets double for improved performance)



Bank documents from internet

Great items gentlemen. I an short on time today, but will get a few scans up in the next few days. Be Patient.

Curiosity is killing the cat...

Hi Rodney,

As it's an Austrian stamp I'd guess your WBV perfin is from one of the bank's office in Austria rather than in Turkey.

The perfin is the right way up.

Okey Dokey... Here are scans of Austrian Perfin Pattern LN.
This pattern is of "Lidove Noviny" Newspaper in Brno, Czechoslovakia!
This explains the 2 Newpaper stamps (row one) perfinned in this pattern. Row 2 are a few more of this Perfin on "regular" Austrian stamps of the period.The item has a L70 number in the Austria Catalog, and an L18 number in the Czechoslovakia catalog.









Note: Brno can be seen on the 30 Heller stamp (at least the "B" and the "O" of the name), as well as on the 60 Heller stamp.

There you go, will post a few more later.

I found another Czechoslovakian user on the Autrian Empire stamps. More Newspaper stamps and a few early ones as well.
The user is J. Otto, Publishing House, Prague. Perfin PAttern "JO".










Hope you enjoy these. Want more?

Bob

So it is

Thanks, I must have flipped the reverse image.




Is the Pope Catholic?

More yukky scans,
please forgive if outside thread parameters :

Perfin "VT"



Perfin "HAHN"

Correction on WBV is Wiener Bank, Smyrna.
Post corrected.
