Hi, can anyone provide a bit of insight into what these stamps might be? I pulled them out of a 101 card that had a marked value of $300.
Thank you!
Andrew

I would suggest doing a quick perf check to make sure your stamp is perf 11½.

Curious.
Do we know what "i/E" indicates with Strassburg?

Yes it is. On bilingual postcards of the era, you will sometimes find "Strassburg i. E." // "Strasbourg Alsace"
