Hi,

I need the SG (Gibbons) Cat number for this one.

Salutation

Hornet

My latest acquisitions:

Bolivia

Brazil (Republic of the United States of Brazil)

Serbia

Shanghai (local post)


I've been making rapid progress on my "one from everywhere" collection. After only five months, I'm already a third of the way through my main checklist of governmental postal card issuing entities from 1869 to 1899 (which does not include the numerous local private posts). As the availability of cheap postal cards from places I need continues to decrease, I will certainly start to slow down.

Hornet785:
I do not have a Gibbons cat, but the three I do have are:
(Catalog, Catalog number, Year of issue):

Higgins & Gage #9 issued 1879

Huggins & Baker # CP-10 issued 1879

Michel P16 issued in 1879

Hi PoStat4evR

Thank you very much, very kind.

Best regards

Hornet

Trying to find Higgins & Gage volumes [any]
but am having no luck.

Turnrostone: Keep looking. Saw a set on that big auction site. (don't know if they let me mention the 4 letter site on here).

Quick question - Does anyone know a website that can help identify the massive numbers of Soviet era illustrated postal envelopes that were issued in the 1970's and 1980's? I've been searching online and haven't found anything yet. I've recently picked up a few hundred of these covers.
Thanks, Will

p.s. I also have one (haven't scanned yet) that dates to 1984, and has the typical 5k. Transportation indicium, but it's light green. This is the first green one I've seen. Usually the indiciums are red or blue. The cachet is some generic nature scene of trees and two guys in a boat. Cachet is also just shades of green. Is this a normal one or some printing error. Date on back is 17. 05. 84.

Battlestamps: Can't think of any online listings. It costs a tad, but Michel covers the Russia/USSR fairly good.

For now, you can just post images of your covers in this thread here:

It was created exactly for this purpose.

I'll try to help you.

Bear in mind that for identifying the Soviet envelopes are needed images of the both sides.

The dates given in both these two posts are absolutely incorrect.

This is Jaypur 1931 ¼A Chariot of Surya plum on buff postal card (Deschl C23) (13.8cm×8.9cm) (unrecorded in Higgins and Gage), printed in typography.

Postage Rate: This card was issued when the intra-state single postcard rate was ¼A from July 1904 to January 11,1942.

Description: Since this site does not support Devanagari script, I am posting just the transliteration of the Hindi inscriptions.

Left Side:
1st Line: Post Card

2nd Line: Raj Sawai Jaipur (Government of 1¼ Jaypur)
Here it must be noted that Sawai literally means 1¼ but in the context of Jaypur state, it means 1¼ times greater than others.

3rd Line: Likhne ki Jagah (Space for Writing)

Right Side:
3rd Line: Sirf Pata (Only Address)

The scroll below the Sun motif shows the motto of Jaypur state in Sanskritam Yatodharmastato Jayah which means "Where there is righteousness, there is victory".

The two lateral panels of the stamp imprint, left in Devanagari and right one in Farsi, show the denomination Pav Ana i.e. Quarter Ana.

This card was sent from Nawalgarh (27.8454°N 75.2546°E), now located in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan to Sikar (27.6094°N 75.1399°E), now in Sikar district of Rajasthan.

Postmarks:
1. Nawalgarh cds dt. September 2,1936 (used to cancel the imprint)
2. Sikar cds dt. September 2,1936 (2nd from left)
3. Sikar cds dt. September 3,1936 (3rd from left)

All these 3 datestamps (diameter: 27mm) are Kemmenoe and Batiya type 22/Kumar type D-5.
This type was used in 57 state POs for 34 years from March 1911 to October 1945.

Both Nawalgarh and Sikar POs were part of the Shekhavati Line.

4. Raj Da. Jaypur cds (diameter: 29mm) dt. September ?,1936 (Da. is the initial of Dak meaning Post) is Kemmenoe and Batiya type 30/Kumar type DS-3, recorded used in 19 state POs from April 1931 to September 1945.
