Any Interest In World Postal Stationery?

codexluminati: Nice El Salvador cover! Thanks for sharing. Any more?

Here is a piece of postal stationery (H&G KB-50 circa 1932) that is also a mailing on the Queen Mary (or so it says) on May 27, 1936. Enjoy

asmodeus: Here come the compounds I have.

This first one H&B # ESC803. Issued 1951.




Second up; H&B # CSP-277. Issued 1971




Third up: H&B CSP-281 Issued 1971




Fourth and fifth are NOT listed in H&B. According to Colin Baker, they are new ones that will show up in the addenda when issued...






I may have one or two more, but will have to find them....

just scrolled through 23 pages! pretty impressive stuff. not what I tend to collect, but have picked up a few things along the way.

here's a British KGV cut square with an incredibly clear offset on the back (shown both sides).

Found this Swedish cut square in a box I was sorting for my stamp club (a few pieces might have fallen on the floor...ahem...)
Took a while to discover it was from a military envelope.



A later trip to my dealer I found a complete envelope. So, I HAD to buy it. They now live together on a single page.




WWII era, the soldier could mail a letter home and the recipient could cut out the stamp on the back and reply to their loved one. All on the governments dime, or öre, I guess.

New Zealand Aerogramme circa late 1970 or early 1980's.

Here are two Germany items.

The first seems to be a private print official postal card from the Berlin Royal Library, postmark 1910:



The second item is a regular postal card H&G 128 issued 1922 with a overprint reading "invalid" [once translated]. Anyone know what this means?

asmodeus: Nice "Specimen" examples. Keep them coming!

"The second item is a regular postal card H&G 128 issued 1912 with a overprint reading "invalid" [once translated]. Anyone know what this means?" 

This stationery has no postal validation.

I guess I should have asked "Why is it invalid" on the H&G 128 item.

"I guess I should have asked "Why is it invalid" on the H&G 128 item"

The card is from 1922 and not 1912.

Many reasons:
1. It lost its validation after the inflation period- new currency.
2. During the inflation period the postage fees went rapidly high.
3. Like a proof/essay/specimen?

asmodeus: Thank you for the information. I noted your correction in original post (1922 NOT 1912). I didn't know they did that to all the cards during the changeover. That had to be a LOT of work by a few people, or maybe a few were saved with the overprint. ANyway, one never knows what one will find while looking through old postal staionery.
