Hello Sylvain,
nice to see, how our forefathers played with stamps ... sorry, but this violet ink has no postal background.
Hello bk
Yep may be pre-perfin mark..
Sylvain
Hello Sylvain,
I don´t think so. That was a game at that time - optimizing stamps, trying to make them more interesting by colouring them, creating fancy cancels and so on.
Hello bk
I won't scrap it..I will ident ''unauthorised fancy marking with no postal interests''.
Thanks
Sylvain
Hello Sylvain,
one can show those stamps (or letters, if available) in a collection. But I would not like to have such things in my collections, as they can draw down the value and the visual effect a little bit of a good collection like yours.
Just my 2 cents ...
Hallo togehter,
I wouldn`t discuss about a value, the stamp-value is low enough. On the other hand I wouldn`t banish this nice sight from my collection, because we find a pretty fluke on the stamp. But it`s neither a "pre-perfin-mark" nor a fancy-mark. Surely it`s not a postal one, @bk is absolutely right here. It was applied after the delivery of the mail on which the stamp once was applied.
Some firms used an incoming-mark, which was devided in two "clocks". The first one shows the date, the second one the time of the day when the mail came in. Here we see the second part of such an incoming-mark, it was 7 p.m. when the mail-access was registered. The violet colour is typical for such extra-postal incoming-marks.

Hello bk and Tim
Thank you, It will be a nice addition to my archive. If somebody at the club arrives with such thing I'll know what to say about it.
Sylvain
Hallo Sylvain,
today i`ve digged a bit into my collection and found a similar one of these incoming-marks. Pherhaps we`ll sometimes find a complete one of your version.
Best regards !
Tim
Hello
@Tim
Thank you, now I know. I saw some of these. Appreciated!
Now before putting the next one aside, anyone of you have a 3 Pf with this kind of broken frame? (see upper left)
Thanks
Sylvain
Hallo Sylvain,
I just can show a similar one, with broken frame a bit lower than yours. But I think on your stamp the corner on top of the left side is much more interesting and the compressed frame on the top of the right side too. I am sure our good Plattenfehler will give us a statemant about all yet.
Best regards
Tim
Hello Sylvain and Pälzer,
both are very nice. Can´t find in my collection, but i will look for it.
1000 pices are still in work.
Best regards
Plattenfehler
Hello
My last addition, nice!
Dated 01-02-1910 from LINDAU.
Sylvain
Hello Sylvain
could you please show us the printed matters content?
Nice item anyway!
Hello Sylvain,
look on your Number 60. Did you see it?
Just a little help with my peaces.
Best regards
Plattenfehler
Hello
@BK, once in my hands I'll post the content. I'm curious too...hope it is not an empty wrapper.
@PF, yes I saw the flaw and thanks for the pictures. I'll post a better scan of it.
Best regards
Sylvain
Hallo
Here is a better close up, I think, like BK wrote, it is a collector item. there was nothing inside and it is very flat as never used to wrap a document or something.
I really like it.
Best regards
Sylvain
Hello Sylvain,
3 Pfg. was the rate for printed matters, so the item had to be "open". When a printed matter was "open", the content could be seen, when one opens it. When there is no content, there has never ever been something sent to Nurnberg, so it was a collectors item.
100 years ago it was fun for the old collectors to produce those "specials". It would be interesting to start a (small) collection of those "specials", as they can show, how our productive our ancestors were.
Hallo
May be there are others like it or some sort out there. It was well preserved and really nice.
Sylvain
Hallo zusammen,
es kann an dieser Stelle jetzt nicht belegt werden, ob der Kgl. Bayerische Hoflieferant E. Henn aus Kaiserslautern in der Tat seine Öfen / Centralheizungssysteme auch in bayerischen und sächsischen Königshäusern / Residenzen zu installieren pflegte. Die Auszeichnung "Hoflieferant" hing hiervon auch nicht zwingend davon ab. Sie hatte in jedem Fall (Werbe-)Vorteile für den jeweiligen Lieferanten, aber auch für die Monarchien. Diese sicherten sich durch dieses Auszeichnungssystem im Gegenzug die Unterstützung führender bürgerlicher Handels- und Industriebetriebe.
+ Gruß
