Here is my contribution to the topic. To be honest, I don't have a clue as to what they are or where they come from.  |

The OP's top item (3c stamp + 7c imprint) strikes me as a very fine item, from Finland under Russian control. The 3 pennia stamp, Facit #37 (I think) is worth 4 to 5 times as much on cover as a loose stamp. Too bad it was cancelled twice. |

Was going to add that almost any russian cover seems to be getting great returns from what I see on ebay anyway. |

New to collecting. Can't find my 7 kon imperfs (as shown in 12/24/2012 post, in the Scott WW catalogs. It is late and I am tired. What am I missing? Looked under Russia and Finland, can't find Russian occupation of Finland. I've got to be missing something simple.
Nice covers and cards. Thanks. |

The 3 #1082;#1086;#1087; (#1082;#1086;#1087;#1077;#1081;#1082;#1072;-penny) imprinted stamp is on a Russian Open Letter (#1054;#1058;#1050;#1056;#1067;#1058;#1054;#1045; #1055;#1048;#1057;#1068;MO) (Postcard). I have seen similar open letters sent from Poland to Germany using the same 3 #1082;#1086;#1087; imprinted stamp between 1881/91 and the 7 #1082;#1086;#1087; imprinted stamp on an open letter being sent to #1075;#1086;#1088;#1086;#1076; #1076;#1080;#1085;#1072;#1073;#1091;#1088;#1075; Dinaberg City (Daugavpils) Latvia 1887. The Russian Empire was quite extensive at this time though their taxation system was a bit of a mess. |

Thanks for your reply. Do you think its just a cut-out? Would the envelope have had a watermark? I don't know anything about stamps. I'm a classic "I've just inherited a shoe box", :) |

That doesn't look like a watermark I've come to know Check it in fluid Going out on a limb I'd say someone tried to Wash off (although the ink is fugitive) the cancellation and glued on to something....but it's a guess Could be a proof..I'll look and see if can find something a little more concrete I know it as a cut out but I could be wrong I only looked up mine:/  |

OK, thank you. I don't know what that means ("check it in fluid"), so I will move on. I'm looking at them stamp by stamp, so I'm never going to get through them all if I get stuck on one. :) |
