Germany: Cancellation Premium.

What a wonderful monograph there, Postmaster.
The Devil is in the detail.

I just bought one on a whim, for $2.60
Mine will be definitely embossed.
It is not the crude cinderella, but no doubt one of the reprints.
I look forward to testing for wmk and teeth guaging when it arrives.

I had no idea of its history
Thank you.

Rod,

If you've got a photo, I can probably tell you which one it is without you needing to measure the perfs, etc.

Postmaster,
it is from my dealer, the image is piddly
but I'll send you the link.
I doubt even your Eagle eye could discern

Looks like the German Collectors Community piece.
if it has "Nachdruck" (Reprint) on back,
I shall be disappointed my dealer did not include that in the
listing.
But we shall see. He is usually very reliable.

Oops! I see only printed once, front of block.

Rod,

It is indeed the reprint for the 1938 Exhibition of the German Collectors Community. That's the hardest of the reprints to find.

As to how you can tell:

1. The 1938's were the only ones printed imperf.
2. It can't be the 1975 printing because those have a tiny "1975" at center bottom.
3. The print quality is too good to be a 1955 reprint. The text on the 1955's is much less defined.

Judging by the large right margin and the dot after the "Y" in "COMPANY", probably position 8 from the sheetlet of 12.

Thank you Postmaster.
Fascinating,
Shall make a great Album Page.
Overall, a well spent $3.50

I have a couple of cancellations I'd like to know more about, I don't think they carry a premium.

Hello
I want some help whith this stamp from Hamburg. I don't think this is a cancellation, but I am not sure. I can read the fünf (five) and I guess there comes the word Pfennig. If this is correct, it means that this stamp from 1865 was used after 1875, when the Mark and Pfennig were introduced?
Does anyone has a better knowledge?
Thanks!

Just_fella,

Your first one : Leipzig Anger-Crottendorf

Your fourth one : Damnitz,Kreis Pyritz
Damnitz is now Debica and Pyritz is now Pyrzyce,both in Poland



(not mine)

Thanks vayolene,
My youngest son recently threw together some German stamps, in his interest, he noticed they didn't look like most of the other cancellations, I don't have many German resources (not really a interest of mine) to answer him properly…
I tried to google what I could after looking threw threads here.
Would the fourth one be considered a "three line box railroad" cancellation? and
Is there any reason the Leipzig would be faked?

Your second one :
Fellbach (Württemberg)
Wine & Horticulture

Just_fella.

Third stamp: little to go on, but probably Hannover-Geestemunde.

Klauskla,

I read "funf y funfzig" so that means 55 followed by a signature.

Most probably fiscal use

I don't read "fünfzig"
The umlaut is missing,and where would be the second "f" ?

Thank you vayolene and johan!
If his interest continues to grow I'll have to invest in some catalogue's for Germany.
He's young so could be a passing thing, I'm just trying to answer his questions for now.
Thank you again!
