Any Interest In World Postal Stationery?

PoStat4evR: post-posting, it occurred to me that I could *move* the sticker, even if that would forever brand me as morally-challenged.

codexluminati's Seychelles indicia is particularly attractive, too.

This is a favorite in my postal stationery collection -- love the old-fashioned and "modern" mail carriers.

I should mention, this is a cover.

2 more from Salvador.

My "Murmansk" guess was correct but, after that, I ran out of luck

Cheers,

ikeyPikey - Your cover issued in 1986 marks an event described on http://www.tvc.ru/news/show/id/63612

You're a treasure, florian.

Another Jubilee postcard -- this time from Sweden. I like the design on this a lot.

Does this qualify as postal stationery? It appears to be a registered official letter from the Ethiopian Postal Administration to the U.S. Can anyone shed more light on it?

I would guess this is similar to a prepaid mailer like the postal system uses here in the US. It could be a shipment of stamps and was registered at the PO in Addis Abeba. If it was an official issue to the post office by their postal system, then it would count as postal stationery. Otherwise I would call it a formular envelope. Someone else can correct me.

PRE-STAMPED ENVELOPES // THRIFTY - CONVENIENT // ENVELOPPES TIMBRES // ECONOMIQUES - PRATIQUES

I do believe this is the first time in my life I've seen postal stationery flogged in a slogan cancel.

It only goes to show that I need to get out more.

ikeyPikey: Thanks for the item with the stationery advertisement slogan. You don't see a lot of those. Interesting.

Time for a bump with a couple obscure British colonial pieces.

Here are a couple of Italian Military use postal cards. From what I can make out they were used during WW I time frame. Enjoy






I am currently working through some Indian States material. Will post a few later today.
Enjoy

Here is an unmailed postal card from the Stuttgart private city post.


On the reverse is a form to ordering tickets to a presentation on Skiing by a Mister V. Mayring.


My assumption is that these cards were mailed under cover to potential customers or just handed out and that the recipient (Lindemann's Bookstore) was charged for the cards mailed back to them.

This postal server operated from November of 1886 until March of 1900, when all private city posts in Germany were shutdown.

Hi,

A Maltese formular aerogramme cancelled in Umm al Qiwain and used to mark Lufthansa's first flight from Tunis to Frankfurt.








The date of the flight was 6.1.66. The UAQ stamps were cancelled on 2 JAN 1966.

My first Umm al Qiwain aerogramme (and likely the last one.)

Happy Holidays!
