Any Interest In World Postal Stationery?

The main focus of my postal stationery collecting is my "One Unused 19th-Century Postal Card from Everywhere" collection, which I've been posting here in its entirety, as it grows. Any other postal stationery that I buy is connected in some way with one or another of my various topical interests, especially Esperanto, Volapük, and other artificial international languages.

My "One from Everywhere" collection is sleeved and in a file box. Most of my picture postcards are stored in similar boxes, though only some of them are sleeved. Postal stationery of topical interest is generally in Vario pages, housed in the same binders as stamps and covers pertaining to the same topic.

I have a weakness for those Hawaiian cards, too. I've already covered my bases for Hawaii in my "One from Everywhere" collection — one Kingdom, one Provisional Government, one Republic — but I'm still keeping my eye open for different designs at low prices, since the ones that I have are all orange akahi keneta (one cent) cards.

I dislike keeping material in boxes, but covers do take up a large amount of shelf space when placed in binders. I've been working through several thousand French FDCs that I recently bought, and they will take up a lot of binders. Fortunately, I have a large reserve of old pages and binders, so my only additional expense has been photo corner mounts.

Hello erilaz,

Very nice cards!

I particularly like the the two-colour BCA card.

erilaz, I recently picked up several myself!

Yeah, the border really makes it "pop".

Scanned a few more tonight. I particularly like the two from Portugal.






No address on this one and the back is blank. Courtesy cancel?





And questions on the next two. Are these "foreign orders" hand stamps considered auxiliary markings? Or were they applied commercially?





This Russia to Paris postcard has a "Distribution" back stamp -- any idea what this indicates?

Hi.
"Distribution" : french for "Delivery"

(scroll down to 1890)

It appears to me that they were applied commercially by the recipient to show that the books ordered on the card had been dispatched.
