Austria query.
Please see -
http://cjoint.com/?fgfV1IF8rD I found these in a recent auction lot. They look like the "make-up rate" stamps issued in 2002 but they are on thin card. I don't think they are cut-outs because they are all exactly the same size and shape. Can anyone throw any light on this subject? Thanks in anticipation, Geezer. |

Hi these have been printed and issued to the "Opal-Postoffices" in mid May 2002, mainly for collecting purposes, becourse there were no need for those kind of stamps anymoore, at that time. 4000 complete sheets were not used and were given away to those, who had an "abonnement" at Post Austria.

There was thread on these started by Blair in 16th March 2006 http://cjoint.com/data/fgp3xysf5T.htm Unfortunately, I cannot find the text in my album, nor can I appear to get any messages prior to 2008 from Google archives for some reason.

Can anyone throw any light on this subject? Thanks in anticipation, Geezer. Here is my post of March 2006. ============================= Austrian Emergency stamp ==================== To elaborate on a discussion raised in another thread, I present the Austrian Emergency stamps. When Austria converted to the Euro, in 2002, previous Austrian stamps (in schillings) were still valid for postage. At first there were no intermediate definitive stamp values available to make up the odd values needed to complete certain postal rates. The emergency stamps were printed in yellow with no face value. Senders would bring their letters to the post office and the clerk would calculate the deficient amount. The money was then collected and the clerk wrote the face value on the stamp in pen or by mechanical means (eg computer). (1) Mint perforated emergency stamp (no face value): http://cjoint.com/data/dprm0rpYak.htm (2) Is this a Mint imperforate emergency stamp (no face value) or are the perforations just hard to see? : http://cjoint.com/data/dprpuMXBHN.htm (3) Cover showing 1 Euro cent value hand written emergency stamp added to old schilling stamps to make up the proper rate. http://cjoint.com/data/dprzjqWGfg.htm (4) Cover showing First Day of Euro use (01.01.2002) Old stamp (in schillings) plus 36 Euro cents paid by handwritten emergency stamp. (5) A mint corner (plate number) block of emergency stamps pre-marked mechanically for use as 45 Euro cent stamps. I believe this was the letter rate. http://cjoint.com/?dprNUAWUnn Any more information on this issue would be welcomed. Blair |

Peter. Thanks Peter for the information. Do you know why these are on card rather than on paper ? Mine have no gum on them - is this normal? Geezer. The first edition, that realy were needed in the daily bussiness, were perforated, printed in sheets with normal gum. The second edition, mostly printed to meet the "demand" of collectors, were nearly useless in postal bussines. They were issued as "self adhesive" stamps. Just like in the U.S.A, Australia and many other countries - also called "Peel and Stick". Peter -- No Gates - no Bill! |
