circa 1930 "Ring der Flieger E.V." donation stamp for fund-raising, nominally to counter the limits on the German military imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Many of the cinderellas/cards I've seen have either Baustein or Flieger-Staffel Baustein on them.
EDIT: haha, someone beat me to it, with better information as well (as usual)

I would say, that it might come from any city (Cannes, Nice...) from the departement des Alpes Marítimes (SE France).

Can anyone help in identifying this maritime cancel ? My guess would be Menton, in the Alpes-Maritimes department, on the Riviera coast at the border with Italy. |

A 1913 issue from French Guinee with a Brussel cancel from 1914.I imagine this is a paquebot cancel as I have seen French paqueot cancels from Matadi,Belgian Congo. I am not sure of the date as there are two lines of numbers....5 6 and 8 V .Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks  |

Hi, Bob ( anglobob ): I think that the 5-6 is the time stamp. I think that the date is 8 VI 1914, so 8th June. Just my opinion. -Chris  Edit: Although it could be just "V". It's hard to tell if it's V or VI, at least to me. I am not sure if the partial "I" is from the top CDS or the underlying one! |

Issued to supplement the regular money order service What sort of period of use are we looking at here? does that meant it was sent, and the recipient could change it for cash? This appears to be used with a violet cancel. |

Gee thanks again Steve Admin , that is a great article, explains everything I need . I had not seen one before and the issue period at the end of the war, of course explains why I can’t find it in my Scott classic catalogue which stops with the issues of 1940. In the Uk we had a similar system of encashable Postal Orders for small payments . Principally used when the parties did not have chequing bank accounts. We did not have special stamps for additional amounts as our regular postage stamps also had revenue use. For years our stamps were inscribed “postage and revenue”.… |

stainlessb, this is a Bulgarian stamp. It is a recycling of an older design that originally had a black vignette. The design no. in Scott is A22 and the original stamp design was issued with the 1911 series. This stamp was issued with the later 1921 series and is Scott no. 161.

Only the 1st four in the middle row (and one in the last row) is Queen Victoria, she was queen of the UK and British Empire until 1901, the 1st one on the top row is Wilhelmina, she was queen of the Netherlands until 1948. All the others are of Queen Elizabeth II, she is the current Queen (since 1953) of the UK and the commonwealth.

The QEII stamps are those of the so-called "Wildings Portrait", used on British & Commonwealth stamps of the 1950's and 1960's. Everything, very common and low monetary value.

Well you have 3 ladies, but half a dozen countries.they all became Queens because their fathers who would have been King before them had died , there were no sons to inherit the title of King , so each became Queen in their own right rather than by being married to a King. ( in the case of Victoria it was her late Uncle who had been King and he had no children)
The red brown stamp in the middle from the UK is the oldest . Queen Victoria as a young queen from about 1850. This design is the same as the famous Penny Black which was the worlds first stamp.
Then the 4 green ones with the same portrait are from 1898 ......60 years later but still the portrait of the young queen though she was really nearly 90!
The 1st stamp comes from the Netherlands Indies ( now Independent as Indonesia ) from a period when the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina ruled before the WW1
In 1952 Queen Elizabeth became Queen of the UK and the rest of your stamps show her picture from a photo by Dorothy Wilding . The purple one Number 3 shows Northern Ireland , the two bigger stamps are from the Island of Mauritius which in the 1950s was a British colony , number 6 in the second row shows the flags of Scotland.
The first stamp in the last row comes from New Zealand which still recognises Queen Elizabeth as Head of State
