Hello mdroth,

Quote:
I've assumed it was a Mt Athos local...have it with my other local issues. Overprint color/lettering seems to match Isfila as far as I can tell - but again, have not spent alot of time on these. I can say it looks like all of the other Mt Athos locals I've seen.


Noticed this topic and would like to show a few 'Mt. Athos' from my collection. Not sure if they are all genuine? A few are annotated below the stamp UR, I presume unrecorded?

That is generous, thank you Dave.

My Turkey pages, are in constant flux, I can post a page 1 day, and fill a gap the next, so it is difficult to assume that those blank spaces remain.

It is easy for me to flip through the Albums, and isolate the tricky ones,
The PTT overprints have huge gaps, difficult to fill, or........expensive if one buys individual stamps, I prefer to wait until pages are advertised.

Thanks for your offer........I'll check your numbers, and post back.
--------------------

Update..the beauty of using Scott numbers...so easy.

#54 have..used
#57 have mint
#58 have a bit dirty and a bite from margin
#63 have used.
#77 ...wow........a key issue...missing cv$45 -$150

Caveat:
With respect, I do not pay catalogue, I hope refusal does not insult.

The sultana raisin was traditionally imported to the English-speaking world from the Ottoman Empire. Turkey and Australia are major producers.
The Ottomans took the sultana grape variety to the island of Crete in the 19th century.

Very nicely written up Rod!

These cancellations remind me of some of those of the Austrian post office in Smyrna:

Thanks gentlemen.

Nigel,
they are new to me, I was reading somewhere, that Turkey's industry around that time, 65% was centered around Smyrna.

Inc. Cotton, ceramics, woven carpets.

Perhaps these (Rubber) handstamps have their story hidden somewhere.

I'll keep an eye open for them.

Hi Rod,

The word TAAHHÜTLÜ means "registered" which fits with the blue cross and the other handstamp.

MATBUA seems to be "printed matter" or something similar.
