Beiträge von Aabenraaer

There exist two antiqua-type postmarks with inscription "Aabenraa" :
Type III: 1856 - 1861
Type V: 1861 - 1864 (latest registered usage is 19th April 1864)

The first usage registration of the succeeding 2-ring "Apenrade"-postmark is 24th March 1864.

So yes, there is an overlap period, where both postmarks has been used.

Yes, it changed back to Apenrade with the introduction of the 2-ring postmark in March 1864.

Actually, the official name of the town, follows which government (German or Danish) it belonged to.
The postmark inscriptions (Apenrade/Aabenraa) did not follow the same logic. I am not sure of the exact reason, but my guess is, it's because Aabenraa (like Tondern) was more German-minded than Danish-minded, even under Danish governance.

Apenrade (German): Before 1920

except:

Aabenraa (Danish) : June 1856 - 1864

Sometimes Aabenraa is spelled Åbenrå in Danish.

Zitat von DSBerlin

Mal sehen wohin es Herrn Pastor Burmeister noch so hingeführt hat.

Being from Aabenraa myself, I have noticed these 3-stripe covers in direction Schwerin - but I never noticed they seem to have all gone to the same receiver, Pastor Burmeister - funny

Is it possible to see inside, who sent the covers ?

...in 1976 they were also used

Hi Martin

No, I do not know that.
As far as I remember, the EU inner Market was effective from Jan 1st 1993, so assume this label was not used for custom clearing from UK after that. I would consider this a standard label, and there was probably a similar standard label before this green label was taken in use.

There is a museum for Customs and Border - maybe they can help you specify the exact period this label was in use:

Hi Nitram

"TOLDEFTERSET" means "Inspected by customs".

The declaration (dark green) from the sender says, the envelope contained stamps for collection. So the Danish, customs inspected the letter, concluded that it required no further charges, and put on this lightgreen label.

Solrød Strand is a suburb to Copenhagen.

Here is a famous accident

Jenny Invert rescued from vacuum cleaner offered in Siegel auction

Among the 104 lots of essays, proofs and specimen stamps in the July 20-21 auction is a handsome complete set of 1881 Atlanta trial color proofs.

Great numeral postmark examples and info in this thread - certainly a "must read" for all interested in SH philately!

I don't think we had numeral 199 yet. Here is one on 2nd weight class letter with DK#4, Sterup - Skaarup (Fünen), via Flensburg and Svendborg.

Sent to Rektor Schurmann, at Det Kongelige Skolelærer-Seminarium (Royal School Teacher Seminar), where many teachers in Denmark have had their education, until it closed around 15 years ago.

Hi Eifel Harri

Thanks a lot for sharing. When it comes to "physical examinations" of objects, I think Carl Aage Møller is impeccable, and when he writes "samhørende", my belief is, that this is without doubt.
I learned something new, as I agree with DSBerlin, that - as he mentioned - the amount of ink used, could indicate that something is wrong. I stand corrected

Hi

I don't think you can ask BPP experts diretly on DASV. My experience is, that you will get your stamp + certificate after 1-2 months - price is typically as small percentage of the market value of the stamp.

Whether it's worth it depends: The cert gives you a second opinion about authenticity and quality - and for some objects, it could be easier to sell with cert at a later time. From a pure value added pov, the cert may not be worth it.

As mentioned by Dieter, it is likely that you can get a very qualified second opinion in the different forums here on DASV.

Cheers,
Ole

Hi Dieter - thanks for your detailed answer - much appreciated!!

Best regards

I have a question for our Prussian experts:

I have noticed that the Ganzsache shown above in this thread, has, what looks like a line cancellation, over the stamp : "xxx Silbergroschen Post Couvert".

Do you know if the Ganzsache is born with this, or applied later, for instance when applying the postmark at the post office ? Do these Ganzsachen exist without this text ?

Cheers
Ole

Hmmmm....I think it is possible to cancel a stamp this way, if the paper is thick and almost all of the postmark is placed on the stamp - and with a little luck

Here as two examples - not as clear - but indicates the same phenonoma, where the postmark appears cut in south.

But yes - it could also have been replaced, eg with a defect numeral "11" to up the value...

Yep - the antiqua-type postmarks (which was mostly used in the in Danish period as a "side cds" to the numeral postmarks), exist in seven different versions (with several subtypes) - this one being type III, as mentioned by Eifel Harri.

Cheers, Ole

Hi Eifel Harri,

Very fine cover! I really like, how clear the burelage shows, on the very wide margins.

Thanks for sharing
