Any Interest In World Postal Stationery?

Here are a couple more postal stationery items. Enjoy!

First is from the Cook Islands. Issued 1892. Postal card. H&G # 1.



Second is a Registered Envelope (H&G C-13). Issued 1954. from SUDAN. This one used in 1957.



Thanks for looking.

Here's a postal envelope I don't know much about, but know it's from Travancore.









Also a postal envelope from El Salvador.

Hungary, from 01.05.1871, valid till 31.12.1876.
Value: 3, 5, 10, 15 Kr.
First issues are litography and are rare (especially 10 & 15 Kr values).
These are typography (more common), 3 Kr unused, 5 kr - Pesth (Budapest) 14.04.1872, cancellation on arrival Losoncz (now Lucenec in Slovakia) 15.05.1872.

On page 12 LarryBruce already showed one like this, with a nice TPO postmark! (Debrecen - Kiralyhaza 1879, this TPO postmark used bw. 1875-1883)
Hungary 1874. These postcards have watermark! Sometimes it`s hard to spot. There are 3 types of wmk.:
MAGYAR KIR / POSTA
M.K.POSTA.
M.K.POSTA. M.K.
This one has the watermak in the middle (goes through that punched hole), probably M.K.POSTA wmk.
Backside: price list of a wheat merchant, 22.12.1878

Hungary, 1886 letter-card. 3 Kr green and 5 Kr red. Inscription Hungarian or bilingual Hungarian-Croatian (those are more sought-after).
This one 5 Kr red used in 1896, sent from Kolozsvar (now Cluj-Napoca, Romania) 17.04.1896 to Magyarlapos (now Targu Lapus, Romania) 18.04.1896.

From 1900 a new design. Monetary system has changed, from krajcar-forint to filler-korona.




In 1900 internal postage rate for postcards was 4 filler. From 01.01.1902 internal postage rate was raised to 5 filler. The 4 filler brown postcards were withdrawn in 10.01.1902. Here ara two letter-cards, 10 filler red and 15 filler purple.

Again on page 12 (LarryBruce) is shown a similar uprated card:
(mixed /?/ franking 1919)



Here`s a closer look to one. Censored (...ensurova..). Note that the Hungarian postmark was not changed (Pozsony = became Bratislava).
10 filler + 5 heller (haleru). Remaining hungarian postal stationeries in Croatia were overprinted (Hrvatska / SHS/ bar). In Czechoslovakia mostly the Austrian postal stationeries were overprinted (CSR), the Hungarian ones were mostly simply uprated.

Following one is questionable. Printed in 1925 by the State Printing House, so it`s official. But as you can see the imprinted 'Harvester' stamp has no value imprinted. It is so due to the inflation period in Hungary bw. 1920-1924/25.
Postage rate constantly changed, so these postcards with pre-printed stamps usually are uprated with stamps (how would you call them? should they be considered postal stationeries? lack of denomination/value makes them questionable). This one is used in June, 1926, inflation already passe, from 1926 new denomination: filler-pengo). Uprated with 8 filler stamp, stamp issued in 1926.

Battlestamps: Travencore looks to be a H&G # 1 issued 1889, and the Salvador looks to be a H&G #7 issued 1888. Hope
that adds some info to your post.
Wadmalatz: Thanks for all the interesting Hungarian issues. I don't see a lot of the older items.

September 11th, 1987. Catalonia's National Day, Political card with a 1938 cartoon, showing king Philip V of Spain, who in 1716 abolished Catalan secular freedom and fascist dictator Francisco Franco, who destroyed Catalan home-rule in 1938.

Poland had a similar item to Wadmalatz's "questionable" card during the infla years.

In 1922 an 8 mark pre-printed postal card was issued. By the time it came out the 8mk rate had long gone so you can't have single usage of these cards

1922 19 Sept. Warsaw to Sieradz


Uprated with 3 x 8Mk. stamps. Domestic post card rate was 30Mk. so this is overpaid by 2Mk.

With inflation taking off in 1922 the Polish Post Office printed postal cards without an indica of value.
The following example is identical to the previous 8Mk card but without the pre-printed stamp.

1924 16 Oct. Zloczow to Krakow


New curerency. 10 Groszy domestic post card rate.

Here is the front of 2 postal stationery items from Great Britain or England (whichever you prefer):





The first incorrect printing of the inside read "Shakespeare Memorial Theatre". This is the more common item found. (H&G #28, H&B # APS-6) issued in 1964.





This image is the corrected, less common, version now reading "Royal Shakespeare Theatre". (H&G 29, H&B APS-7). This item has a value of 5 times that of the original error printing. It is also VERY hard to find used. Issued 1964.



If you collect any country, it PAYS to look at every single item you come across for all the varieties. It also makes it more fun. Enjoy.

Here are some new (to me) items picked up this week.

Papua New Guinea postal stationery envelope from 1986.



A mint item from the Congo. 1886 postal card



and lastly...
A nice item from the Hungaian Empire days. Postmarked in "Fiume" in 1909, located across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. Today it is part of Croatia.





Enjoy.
