OK, I have a lot of this stuff and this is a good cross section of what I have. At least 1 of every denomination that I have found so far. It makes me ill that someone destroyed a neat document to scavenge stamps! I would love to know what these are or better yet, were? I really appreciate your help with the world wide stuff I received.

The stamps appear to be regular Austrian postage stamps first issued in 1916.

Is it something similar to this maybe?



Like a parcel permit maybe? I'm guessing Austro-Hungarian empire perhaps?

Here is some information from Linn's:


Quote:
Parcel cards were issued by several countries. Initially many countries only offered parcel delivery between post offices, rather than to individual addresses.When a patron mailed a parcel, he was required to fill out the parcel card at the sending post office. The parcel cards came in common parcel rate denominations. Additional stamps could be added for heavier parcels.Like Italian parcel post stamps, parcel cards usually came in two sections. One section was retained by the post office, and the other was delivered to the recipient to notify him to pick up his parcel at the post office.A Yugoslavian (Slovenian issue) 10-vinar black Emblem parcel card, Michel AP5, mailed March 30, 1920, from Celje, Slovenia, to a soldier stationed at Kragujevac, Serbia, is shown in Figure 6. The form declares that the parcel contained food.The left part of this card containing the stamp design has not been detached, although it usually was detached. The card was uprated by the addition of 5.4 krone in postage stamps.
So they were presumably all ripped because the packages were delivered.


Am I close or not?

Hey THANKS!

So that would be around the WW1.time period then. What was the document they were attached to then if they was regular issue postage? I'm very curious about these.

Nice parcel card ILS. The Linn's description appears to cover the preprinted stamp on the left. The postage stamps are from Slovenia. You can find them under Yugoslavia BOB. The gentleman is King Peter 1 and is SC# 3L22 brown lake (though there are colour variations, lake and dull red - you be the judge)issued 1919-1920. The other stamp is SC#3L8 40f bister issued 1919.

The piece at the bottom right is from a card with a printed revenue stamp.

They are regular stamps affixed to parcel cards. If you Google "austria parcel card" you can find heaps of examples.
