I have this Allenstein stamp (added as separate post) and I can't seem to find anything about the pre-1902 series. (I collect only USPS but my wife decided maybe she'd play with an international album that was part of a collection I bought. Now we're both hooked!)
That's a German stamp (MiNr. 56 from 1899/1900) cancelled in Zarpen (Holstein). There are three color varieties which are difficult to distinguish in a scan. If it's the common variety, the CV is €1. The others, €90 or €60.
This is the actual stamp. I found something that indicates the rare stamp would be 26mmx22mm and I suspect this is not, though not sure if that is the measurement of the whole stamp or just the printed image. Is there a Scott Catalogue reference number or other reference number for the stamp? Many thanks in advance.
Peter, oh absolutely! It was the only example I found through a Google search. I'll admit, the price they were asking made me extremely hopeful I had something worth that much.
