A nice Red Airmail etiquette. Still need to find the country of origin. Also, I need to find what the 'P' labels are for ? it's the first time I have seen them. AIR MAIL I've seen the red AIR MAIL etiquette most often on covers from Canada. Also seen in black on yellow.
And also seen on the occasional USA cover.

What to make of a blank ‘etiquette’? It covers a 10 c. Swiss regular. Why would the Geneva post office cover one stamp on an out-going letter?
Censored post addressed to Geneva is easy to find, and always emotionally affecting; families turning for help to the International Committee of the Red Cross. But censored post from Geneva is rarer. Here someone is writing Mrs. Leitner in Vienna (then part of Germany) in March 1945. The Examiner tape is removed, probably by Mrs. Leitner upon opening. One can only hope the news was good.

Aaron kasvik, is it an optical illusion , do my eyes deceive but is the right side of the 10c slightly skew and shorter than the left? Is it possible the stamp has been torn across the middle and the etiquette tape hides the join? What nationality is the Violet MILITARY CENSORSHIP? The language looks English, neither French nor German is that not a puzzle ?

It appears to have travelled through British or American control--I cannot judge which--on its way to Vienna. March 1945; miraculous the posts functioned at all. As for the twisted stamp, you spotted something. Without actually removing the brown paper sticker, I see no tearing. But a plaster would be an innocent explanation, if the clerk at the post office accepted it.
Before I close the case, any other possibility?

Yes , one other possibility that lurks in the recesses of my dim memory, I think it might be from Faroes censorship or Danish post war . There the censorship labels were British Military but a small brown label was used by the Danes to indicate they had an involvement. I can’t recall the details . Possibly something similar here . Swiss authorising British or American oversight?

Swiss authorising British or American oversight? Switzerland is small, but surely large enough to feel tested by a precedent from the Faroes. Mere patriotic pride aside, I confess, the etiquette/sticker/tape could be a symbol of some sort. It does not seem to serve a functional purpose.

It took me so long to clean this topic up that I almost forgot what I wanted to post !! Also, it took me 20 minutes to find it as I was looking in the Cinderella section going through each page, rubbing my eyes, going through the pages again !! I thought we'd lost the lot. So I went to search.........then it took me to ephemera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How it got there I don't know. Anyway, I found a few nice local Registration labels today including one nice pair from the town just across the fields from us. Must be pre-1967 ! Tulkarm......nice view of this town from our village. I used to walk over there and drink nice Arabic coffee many moons ago. Sadly not anymore.......a 20 feet high wall has put paid to that ! Ramallah.......Administrative capital of Palestine (West Bank) East Jerusalem Gesher Allenby is Allenby Bridge which connects the lower Jordan Valley with Jorden over the River. Rafiah is a town which straddles the border between Gaza and the Sinai (Egypt). Registered labels in 3 languages are no longer used in Gaza or the West Bank town of Qalqilya.

How about explanatory etiquettes giving the reason why a mail item is not delivered. " gone away", " refused ", incomplete address" etc inscribed in local language + UPU French. I have several from European countries , Switzerland , Czechoslovakia etc . Here are 4 from Denmark ] [

Here's a few registration labels from the Philatelic Bureau in the UK at Edinburgh, Scotland. Mostly different types.

Great, thanks ( Londonbus1 )! I'll use this on all my out-going mail now. Well, a printer version... I did a quick edit to make a label for your envelopes. Just size & print. Oops, I didn't clean up on the right side of the shield! It'll hardly be noticeable. Hmmm, I also got rid of those perfs, maybe it would look better with? Ah, this will be good enough for me. or here is a smaller version that should fit OK with most envelopes...

I've seen lots of via airmail etiquettes, but never one By Train until this one. Perhaps, the Post Office Department was beginning to fly first-class mail on an experimental space available basis in 1965 and the sender wanted an RPO cancel on the cover.
In addition to this unusual label, I collected this cover for its Union Station Transfer Clerk's cancel and the subsequent Omaha & Ogden E.D. RPO cancel. The Transfer Clerk cancel is curiously missing the year date. The RPO cancel is dated 1965.

In British Post Offices, etiquette labels for various services were available in a rack on the customer side. At various times I appear to have acquired one of everything. I'm fairly sure that this was legitimate but, just in case, if anyone asks, I was never here...
Firstly, I was going to say you may need to don sun glasses to view these Recorded Delivery etiquettes, which come with certificates of posting, since the first two are actually fluorescent orange but this doesn't show in the scans!

Various Special Delivery (guaranteed next day delivery or your money back) etiquettes, again with certificates of posting, along with with a Swiftair (a priority airmail service) etiquette:

Two of my favourite and more exotic Air Mail etiquettes.
Firstly, from French airline Aéropostale, a large France/South America etiquette. Founded in Toulouse in 1918 by pioneer Pierre-Georges Latécoère as Société des lignes Latécoère it later became Aéropostale. Envisioned as an air route connecting France to the French colonies in Africa and South America. The company was later involved in a scandal and was ultimately merged with several other private airlines to become Air France in 1933.
Secondly, a "By "Condor" Airmail in Brazil / Par Avion "Condor" en Bresil" etiquette. Condor can trace their roots back to the German company Condor Syndikat founded in 1924 which led to the founding of the Brazilian airline Syndicato Condor in 1927 which became Serviços Aéreos Condor. They even issued their own stamps.

I looked at all the pages on this thread and did not see this Romanian etiquette which I found in the collection I recently inherited. Which also reminds me to ask if worldwide etiquettes have been catalogued. Does anyone know?

A couple more items with arabic script. They came in a recent local auction win of regional registration labels. Beit Jala is a town near Jerusalem close to Bethlehem. In the days when I was brave enough to visit the place where Jesus was born, I would stop at a lovely little eatery in Beit Jala. Not any more. I wonder if it's still there.....

More Registration labels, some from the time of the Jordanian Occupation of Palestine at the end of the (British) Mandate period. (1948-67). Jenin, not far from Megiddo (Armageddon), the location recently for terrorist infiltration. Notice the 'dropped 6' on both lines of the top right pair ! Jerusalem, East. Plus Occupation examples (Various types). Jerusalem Citadel also known as the City of David (or Tower of David) is situated in the Old City which was also occupied by Jordan until the 1967 6-Day War. Various types of Bethlehem Registration labels. Blank labels with no city or town specified were sent to the outlying areas and small villages where use was limited. Also I am told that during the Occupation periods a quantity was sent to all Post Offices in case of shortages of the regular printing. So larger cities like Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah can be found handstamped or written on blank labels. I found these types so far, there may be more. Londonbus1
