I've seen a lot of these with some with denominations as the Germany Spremberg issues after WWII. also seen a few with rubber stamps no denominations. anyone know the purpose of these?
Thanks George so some type of credit for other postage? I see this term a lot and it appears to be valid postage stamps for some issues like Spremberg after WWII?
GEBÜHR BEZAHLT Germany - Sale covers with Gebühr bezahlt postmark during the Allied occupation.
At the beginning of September 1945, pending new stamps, the stamps of the Reich being prohibited, the postal tax is paid in cash. A postmark GEBÜHR BEZAHLT is affixed , which attests that the tax of the correspondence was paid. These brands will be used later in the lack of stamps.
Thanks Greg.. saw about 20 different of those too. the below ones are intersing. i am thinking this could be one heck of a collecting area - after WWII with nazi stamps banned it left few options and a lot of these obscure Locals exist to provide valid stamps. https://rschneiderstamps.com/product-category/german-post-wwii-locals/runderoth/
reason I brought it up as i have never seen the ones i posted here anywhere?
In my "archives" somewhere I have a few covers from the '20's when inflation was going crazy and they were hand stamped Gebuhr Bezahlt because they did not have a supply of proper postage stamps to use with out pasting the cover with lower values.
looks like these were on covers too - very interesting local issues (to me) :-) starting to think mine may be fakes at this point or at least need to be expertized.
