Hi Friends Given below is the images of a cover from Germany used in 1950 from Munster to Rottenburg.. Any idea about the elephant postmark on the front side and back side of the cover? was it an official postmark or being applied by some collector.. Why is the red cross applied on the cover.. You can also notice there are two postmarks of Munster on cover. Thanks in Advance Our_elephant (sandeep)
I volunteer at a school library and every once and in a while e have a "bookfair". Whenever a child buys a book we put a stamp in the front of the book, usually an elephant, a crocodile or a giraffe. The above "cancel" reminds me of the small stamps we put in the books.
Most probably a child got hold of this letter and used it as a piece of paper to put this toy stamp of an elephant on it. Maybe there is also a letter out there with zebras, chickens or Donald Duck on it.
If I am not mistaken, that cover is a first for me..........
The rear of the cover has been sealed with wallpaper. I recall my father using that type of trimming when wallpapering filagree around a wall design in Engand in the 1950's
