Old Belgian Stamps -Need Help

Hi all
Nice looking stamps
Need to do some homework
Would be interested in any comments
Thanks

Pshann, looks like most of these, if not all are Belgian stamps ? Just saying,


Peter

Apologies all

Not German but Belgium

Pshann, I am pretty sure you can still edit the title of this post. If not, just send a note to staff and they can do it


Peter

Hi Peter
I have no idea how to do either.
Hopefully staff will attend to my mistake.
Apologies for the error and Thankyou for your help

Pshann, on every post you make there is a little sentence on the lower right hand corner: "send note to staff".
Click on that and another box will open. Just put in your request to edit the post and send it


Peter

Thanks Peter
See it now
Much appreciated

First nice Belgium stamps, some of them, you have to be selective in your collecting, first dump all the stamps missing perforation, I see 15 get ride of them It is not doing any good.

the Stamp with the label under, because Belgium had a Chatolich as the chief of post, he made a rule, that if you did not want mail on Sundays you leave the label on, sinners like me "Protestant" will tear it of and receive letters also on Sundays ;.)

You have two perfins also, keep, Cl Credit Lyonaise a Frence Bank the other one I do not know, you have to aske in the forum.

The precancelled Brussels 1898 is a roller precancelled and the other one Brussel 12 is precancelled in 1912 there is two types A and B yours is a type B COB PO21

You also have some with a roller cancelled looks like a bridge, these where used by banks to cancelled saving documents which was widely used in Belgium, the government wanted the Belgians to save up to their old age, so you could get a saving document and when you had 1 Fr. you could go the bank an deposit your 1 Fr saving and they would use the roller cancel to show the money was deposit.

I like the label model of the infamous Leopoldo. I'd keep a few.

@Murasama

You should leave the label on, the stamps which is suppose to have a label have more value, the use of the label enden when world war I started, the last stamps with labels was issued Sept. 1913 and maybe the 20 C olive "Grand effige" was issued Jan, 1914 the first was issued in Aug. 1893 showing the Royal Emblem of Belgium

I have any model coat of arms with the label in the top..

Labels, tabs, stamps.

Could there be some difference in the use of terminology?

Scott calls the extra thing at the bottom a "label" and says that values for Scott 60-107 are quoted with the label, & stamps without the label sell for much less. I would not get rid of versions without, you can replace them later if you like, but they are examples of the stamp.

Murasama is Spanish. Sometimes, he uses a translation from the Spanish word, at other times he does not. Some words might get lost in translation.

I agree he should not get rid of anything. He, often, has stated not to be concerned about the quality as he likes the stamps. Good on him!

I'm trying to complete the Leopold´s label series, with and without the label... I also have one copy of the label, removed unused from the stamp, and another where instead of removing the label, it was crossed out in pencil...


The stamp is in terrible condition, but I considered it a postal curiosity, since I thought that when it was cancelled, the issuer changed their mind at the last moment regarding the label, but the stamp was already affixed to the letter and there was no way to remove it. But no, I just saw that there are no perforations between the stamp and the label…


I need to find out more about this...What paradox! One of the most curious postal item in my collection is a stamp I never wanted to collect: Leopold II...

I think it's a cutout from postal stationery. The "do not deliver on Sunday" label is normally perforated on stamps. so can be removed. Presumably on stationery it was intended for the sender to cross out the panel.
