These "stamps" came to me last year I think from an online auction sale, but I can't remember ANYTHING about them. Usually I take screenshots to ensure what I "win" is what I get, and I keep the original listing--in most cases.

But for these I have NO documentation, but at least they were not expensive. Seems they may be Albanian provisionals as I have seen similar items before. I think I even have owned similar items "on cover" but probably sold or traded them years ago.

Any comments or details about usage are appreciated!!!!

On the reverse of the last (far-right) stamp there appears some sort of "owner's marK" or perhaps a dealer mark. Anyone recognize it???

VLONE in Vlorë & FIER are cites/villages in Albania

Postat and Qeverriës së Përkohëshm (Post of Provisional Government) and të Shqipëniës (of Albania)

Certain types were only sold in specific areas

They are somewhat listed in Scott - Albania yr 1913

Lots of varieties.

One of the key reference books on these, especially to weed out forgeries, is "FRANCOBOLLI D’ALBANIA 1913-1944". The book is currently only available in Italian or Albanian.

www.amatoperizie.com/news_8.html

Scroll down about 1/4 way and you will see the cover of the Albanian language version. Italian version is also red cover.
