Hallo,
Went to a small show today, found these three that are interesting.
1- No stamps applied at the post office
2- Same day postal marks
3- Arrived in Canada and 2 cents taxe hand stamp applied
4- 2 cents postage due from first issue (1906) J2
5- Target cancellation on the postage due stamps
6- Sent to same address
Now, anybody knows the printed matter rate in Nederland for that day of 11th january 1915 ?
Very nice set.
Best regards
Sylvain

Most often are pen marked or nothing at all. Since it is a small village, ST-DENIS DE LA BOUTEILLERIE, I'm pretty sure there were other cards at the same time. So that was faster to apply. The cards are from the same serie. The cursive 2 and target cancel were the toys for postal clerk during the 1800. You can see some at the beginning of 1900 even in the 30's. Usage of the 2 cents is correct for that purpose on cards.
Thank you very much!
