Any chance of a bigger scan? There are several people here with the Michel catalogue that lists these.

Your scan will improve if you make a row of 4 with a row of 3 underneath. Also, do not use the entire scanner glass as your scan area and then crop away a large amount of blank space; make your scan area about 4 x 3 inches, and your results will improve greatly.

Top Row
Magdeburg Courier Stamp, Michel 26? -- €6
München Courier Stamp, Michel 3 -- €2
Brandenburg Courier Stamp, Michel 1a, €12
Unknown

Bottom Row
Breslau HANSA Private Post, Michel 8, €4
Frankfurt (Main) Private Postage, Michel 1 -- €2
Unknown

The two unknowns appear to be postal stationery cutouts. If you can provide a better scan of both I might be able to identify them as well.

The 5pf green cutout is Bavarian - from a postcard if I remember correctly.

Regarding the top stamp, here is what nigelc had to say about a similar example last week:


Quote:
It's a cut-out from a postal stationery item from the Berlin company "Berliner Packetfahrt Gesellschaft".

The text around the value reads "Neue Berl. Omnibus u. Packetfahrt Actien-Ges." which was the company name at the time, i.e. "Neue Berliner Omnibus- und Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft".



I suspect this description applies to yours, too.

I agree with Bavaria for the bottom one. Not a local.

Thanks for the better scans.
