Any Interest In World Postal Stationery?

Here's a couple of Estonia postal stationery cards. The first is a surcharge, uprating the old 12 senti international rate to 15 senti. The card was sent from Tartu to Leipzig; I'm not sure why the sender's surname has been scratched out.

The second is a nice privately printed card full of adverts, sent from Kaina to Nohme in 1940. This was during the Russian occupation, a truly horrible time in the modern history of Estonia.

Kingdom of Württemberg.

Belgian Congo

Is this a thread to show examples of WW postal stationary? There are many thousands of examples to that respect. I have several as well. Thanks! Wolf-==-

stampwolf: Yep, anything and everything WW postal stationery. Show what you have.

Here's a German South-West Africa fore-runner sent from Gibeon to Chemnitz in Germany, with Cape Town transit marks. This is unusual because the shipping services were usually very regular from Swakopmund. It took nearly two months to get to its destination. The "crease" across the front is just how I've mounted it in a stock sheet.

A couple items from the German Third Reich. Favor cancels, nothing on back.

I kind of like this one because it pictures my namesake, Wolfgang Von Goethe. Original dealer/seller price on back, $0.15.

Really like that Belgian Congo postcard, colforsal!

Here's a few German East Africa.

5pf Germania Reichspost with Deutsches Seepost CDS of 20.07.00 with Deutsches Schutzgebiet straight line violet hand-stamp canceller, Tanga 27.11.00 transit CDS and Cuxhaven arrival CDS 27.12.00



Next is a 5pf card sent from Dar-es-Salaam 29.11.00 to Erfurt in Germany, where is arrived on 27.12.00.



5pf overprinted 3 pesa sent from Wiedhafen (now Manda) on Lake Malawi, 1.1.00 to Waldenburg in Baden-Württemberg (called Schwaben on this card). It has no transit or arrival CDS.



This 5 pesa on 10pf sent from Bagamoyo on 30.04.95 to Dar-es-Salaam. I assume there was only one firm called M. Stehn in the city!



3 pesa on 5pf sent from Dar-es-Salaam on 22.8.00 with Kilwa transit CDS of 28.8.00 and Songea arrival CDS of 20.09.00. Interesting that it took a month to travel from the coastal town of Kilwa a couple of hundred kilometres to Songea in the centre of the colony.



5 pesa on 10pf sent from Iringa in central GEA on 2.5.98 with Dar-es-Salaam transit marks 25.6.98 and arrival CDS in Pfalzburg 14.7.98. This town is now in Alsace-Lorraine, France.



4 heller sent from Korogwe on 28.8.08 to Anugu (?) via Makuyuni. I can't find Anugu on the map or in the Deutsches Kolonial-Lexikon, or anything with a similar name. Maybe it was a very small mission station?



7 1/2 heller sent from Dodoma 6.4.12 to Karlsbad in Bohemia (now Czech republic). Unfortunately there are no receiving CDS.

I am getting ready to post a few images on here again. Any particular countries, wants, items I might have that you are interested in seeing?

Not my collecting area, but some of you may be interested in this Argentinian lot, which is part of a long-running auction of the Karl Jaeger collection -

There are some lovely postcard lots here - but rather out of my cheap and cheerful league.

I'm quite partial to the elaborate bank note designs on many of the Central/South American postcards. Actually, any postcards printed by the banknote companies are of interest.

I would be happy to participate in this type of discussion. I have a modest U.S. postal stationery section in my collection and have always had some questions regarding some of my "UX'ers".

Hi Tom, thanks for posting. I was going to say that this thread was primarily devoted to worldwide, but I just re-read the first post by PoStat4evR who opened it up for world and U.S. So post away -- and I will add some of my own eventually!
