If I were to hazard a guess, it would be either Bellcrest, Hillcrest or Hillcroft (sadly, retroReveal wasn't too helpful in this instance). |

May 14, 1937 Scott #290 A bit ironic, a stamp issued to commemorate a postal congress and overprinted UPU apparently used as a telegraph stamp.  |

May 16, 1936 from a small village, Morand, pop. 322, in the Inore et Loire region of France. Also, I learned from Google that Hotels.com can show me the top ten hotels in Morand and that Facebook has profiles of people named France Morand.   |

May 17, 1922 from Budapest First of all, nice job to Andrew ( butterfly ) on his recent post of a postmark from Hungary. I still have to take a long look at those to get them right, with the year coming before the month rather than after. At some point, I will get my classic stamps of Hungary organized to the point that I can start posting some here. I apologize to everyone that I have not been contributing much to this thread recently. It is not due to lack of material, but rather lack of time. My new job is a very time-consuming activity, and I have not even been able to do a good job of keeping up with reading everyone else's posts, let alone making ones of my own. But here goes, as I have 5 examples of postmarks from this date, so wanted to post one in any case. It is already Saturday morning here, but I know it is still Friday evening back in the western part of North America, so I am posting this now, as I do not have any postmarks for 19th May. 18th May (1992) Austria, Scott #1563 and #1570 6-shilling and 7-shilling commemorative stamps postmarked on this date in Graz in 1992. The top stamp depicts physicist Christian Johann Doppler and the bottom one marks the 100th anniversary of the Austrian-Swiss Treaty on Regulation of the Rhine River. This image was scanned from a piece of correspondence sent to me back then from family friends who live near Graz, and they are still there. I am hoping to visit them again during my time here in Europe, as I have not seen them in some years now, although we still exchange cards and news around the year-end holidays.  |
