Sincere apologies Joan ! cursus, I failed to give you credit for the bookseller postcard, I thought it was rex who posted . Thank you for the other side however, It seems the publishing and bookseller firm of David Nutt started in 1830 and moved to the Strand from 1848-1890 . He specialised in publishing books in foreign languages for the British ( and German) markets . The firm was taken over in 1910. Hence his interest in Turkish proverbs, Italian texts and Theology, an eclectic mix.

I'm sorry I'm not the owner of the beautiful postcard. Thanks to Joan cursus for revealing the other side of the postcard. Yes, .. very eclectic requests, but on the other hand they are both top-level international antique book dealers. Good day everyone.

I picked these up last year at an auction. I thought at first why these envelopes had $1 Deer and $2 Polar Bear definitives. How expensive was it to send an envelope? It only costs 92¢ to mail a letter. Then I noticed these stamps were valued as P or 92¢! I was stumped at first, but I do like them...
I just added this envelope as it has a great special cancel.
The local post office doesn't advertise any postal stationery, so when I go tomorrow to mail the give away's, I'll ask.

After the declaration of independence of Lithuania on March 11th 1990, the Lithuanian Post, issued this cover. Due to the actions of the Baltic Republics towards freedom, the soviet regime promoted a blockade of the resources transfered to them. To try to somewhat ease the effects of that, a "stamps" was issued to collect money.
Cover, circulated to Romanas Podagelis, a Lithuanian philatelist, later to become ambassador of the new republic in Rome. I exchanged stamps with his son for some time.

On june 1941 (on the aftermath of German invasion) the Soviet autorities ordered a massive deportation of citizens of the Baltic Republics (occupied by the soviets on the previous year) to Siberia, from where many didn't come back. The "by them" not deported people, placed candels on the tracks of the trains heading East with their countrymen. In June 1991, Lithuania issued a cover remembering that sad even. We know two shades:
FDC from Vilnius to Kaunas
Uprated cover, circulated to Barcelona in 1995

sent 1970 Not a real postal stationery,because there is no imprinted stamp. Germany is another country,where you can buy aerogrammes without stamp in stationary shops, but not in post-offices.(There are even no post-offices any more !)

When I was going to look for the date of sending of that aerogramme,I could not find it. My stationeries are in different boxes,seemingly without any order.I guess there maybe well over a thousand of them.So my next project will be to sort them out. This one has an interesting cancellation: Obviously not cancelled in South-Afrika,it received in Germany the cancel "Nachträglich entwertet" (cancelled supplementary). This cancel,always in green,is not often found on stamps.

The first move of the (then Socialist Sovietic) Republic of Estonia, toward postal independence wa to increase the price of domestic mail from 5 kopecks (0.05 rubles) to 15, from January 1st, 1991. But, there was a shortage of postal means due to the embargo imposed by the Kremlin to the "rebel" Baltic countries. The Estonian authorities, were shy to issue their own stmps fearig the reaction of Moscow. By April, as the situation worsened, they decide to uprate the stock of 5 kop stationery with a mark "Eesti Post 10 kop", at Tallinn's GPO and await for the reaction.
Covers circulated in April and May 1991
Actually, nothing happened... So, they went ahead...

Peter Peter, These are envelopes issued by Canada post. They used the same design as the high value definitives. They were printed over the years of 2011- 2014. They are listed in Webbs as EN 411-EN419. They would have sold for the value of postage at that time plus cost of envelopes. They would still be valid for use today. David
