I make the ten Heller as Jochberg, Austria. Any suggestions for the others?

Excellent! The hyphen threw me completely off course. But quite clear now. Lana didn't turn up at all in my search engine. Thank you, Rod.

RCZA stumped me, figured it must be preceded by a Vowel or 2
No Luck.

Here is LANA with Lower CDS, to identify you last letter "H" (ETSCH)
ETSCH is German for Adige, the river.

Just the resource I need. So many of these old Austrian stamps have readable cancels that, if read, demonstrate the extent of the Habsburg Empire. Artifacts of a vanished world. Adds greatly to the value and enjoyment of so-called common stamps.

Suczawa: very plausible. Haven't found anything as good.

As for Rcza: I also assume a letter or two in front, but ran through the entire alphabet without success.

Again thanks, Rod. You're a treasure.

Eric

Thanks, classic paper. Good guess. I'll put it down as probable.
