January 26th, 1993
Soviet PSE (in the Russian and Belarusian languages) used in post-Soviet independent Belarus. Used from мотыкалы-Motikaly, Brest to St Petersburg. The 7k envelope indicium had originally been supplemented with a handwritten "093" (kopecks) to make up the 1 ruble rate valid in most of 1992. The increase of the rate to 2 rubles in late 1992 required the addition of two 50k Belarus stamps.

February 1st, 1923
Inflation-period cover from Lipetsk, Tambov to Moscow, 4/2/1923. Franked with 10 copies of 4k Arms, i.e 40R (in 1922). This intercity letter rate ended on 1/1/1923, when a 100х devaluation brought Imperial arms to face value, i.e here 40k, and the rate was raised to 1 ruble. Deficiency here is 60k (1R-40k). Postage-due is assessed with the oval "Doplatit" handstamp, apparently 1R60k = deficiency (60k) + registration (1 ruble).

February 2nd. Parry Manufacturing Company, 1907 Wearing a Scott #303
"Series 1902" (issued in February of 1903)

{Citations}
From Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parry_Auto_Company
The Parry (1910) and New Parry (1911–1912) were both Brass Era cars built in Indianapolis, Indiana by the Parry Auto Company.
For almost two decades prior to the official release of his Parry car in 1910, David Maclean Parry (March 26, 1852 - May 12, 1915) experimented making other cars. His brothers and partners in the Parry Manufacturing Company preferred to stay with carriages, so these early cars were not put into production. These same brothers would later finance the Comet cyclecar. In 1906, David Parry gained control of the Overland Company, and thus officially got into the auto business. By 1908, he sold the company to John North Willys, since Parry had lost everything, including his house, in the Panic of 1907.[1]
By July 28, 1909, Parry had recovered financially enough to establish the Parry Auto Company. He was sure he had the secret to success in the automotive field. He would learn from the mistakes of others (and himself), building only two models. These would be built in adequate numbers to offer them at a low enough price that would ensure success. The new company occupied seven large structures leased from the Standard Wheel Company in Indianapolis. The beginning payroll included 389 employees, but plans were laid to expand that number to 3000. "Now, if the Parry Auto Company can turn out 5,000 cars for the year 1910, it will have established a world's record for the first year of any such business," David Parry stated. Parry did not achieve this lofty goal and renamed the vehicle the New Parry in 1911, the only new thing being the higher price. The next year, the company changed names to the Motor Car Manufacturing Company, and production of the Pathfinder commenced. For a short while, both the New Parry and Pathfinder were made in the same factory, until New Parry production was terminated.
The problem with David Parry and his company had been a case of dreaming big and over-optimism. The company was capitalized for US$1,000,000, but only US$150,000 had been paid in. Most of that smaller amount was spent the first year on advertising and equipment purchases. There were only 900 cars sold in 1910, thus resulting in a substantial loss. The company was in receivership by late December 1910. David Parry died in 1915, after contracting an illness while overseas with the Foreign Trade Commission of the National Association of Manufacturers.
**
A little about the life of David MacLean Parry, who had an impressive career in and out of the wagon and automobile business.
For example, did you know that he:
> Was a lawyer.
> Was an author.
> Was a reporter on The New York Herald and later an editor of a Montana newspaper.
> Was a friend and protege of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, by whom he was married to his first wife.
> In 1882 acquired a wagon shop -- the LARGEST of its kind in the world.
> Gave Henry Ford his first financial assistance when he started in the automobile business.
> Built and was President of the Indianapolis Southern Railroad.
> Had refused Ambassadorships and the candidacy of Vice President of the United States.
> Was said to be responsible for the nomination of Benjamin Harrison as candidate for President.
All in all, quite an impressive career above and beyond his wagon and automobile business interests.
The above information was taken from his obituary as it appeared in the New York Times on May 13, 1915:

He had tokens too looks like.
