Posting Scott #5 (not sure which type, but it's on thinner paper). The postmark is unusual (to me) it has what appears to be a scrollwork design on the bottom. Date looks like 12/29, and I am unable to figure out the city/town- looks like DI ?LI hoping someone else has seen this before  |

stainlessb , I read it as Cilli. I found the following county name in what is now Slovenia that may have been where this was postmarked. Cilli seems to be the German name for Celje. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Cilli"At the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century, Celje was a center of German nationalism which had repercussions for Slovenes. The 1910 census showed that 66.8% of the population was German.[6] A symbol of this was the German Cultural Center (German: Deutsches Haus), built in 1906 and opened on 15 May 1907, today it is Celje Hall (Slovene: Celjski dom). The centuries-old German name of the town, Cilli, sounded no longer German enough to some German residents, the form Celle being preferred by many."

My first thought at seeing the bottom design is Arabic script.

I initially thought the same thing, but the left side is a mirror of the right (not evenly inked). The links darkormex provided show some similar designs |

Still curious about the design on the bottom (if that is what it is) I think the term being sought for the graphic doodly things is " fleuron" or printers' flower (or horticultural dingbat, to use a more modern term). They were typographic elements (glyphs) available for use by printers in typesetting, just as individual letters or numbers could be used. Some of them could be strung together to make long vines with leaves and flowers interspersed, others were meant to be used individually. Ryan |

Another early stamp 3 Kreuzer not sure, if it's Michel #3 but which type I am unsure. It has a hinge remnant on the back and is in the line to the 'bath-house". Stadt Laibach, dating back to the 12th century is now Ljubljana (considered the old name formof Laibach) , is the present day capitol of Slovenia.  |

Anglobob. Out of interest did you buy these items with postmarks already identified by seller or did you find them out yourselve?

forthThe majority are found with just the one postmark identified and I usually am able to find the other name by searching various sites on the internet.Once I was able to buy a small collection from Slovakia where the seller had done all this and had them neatly displayed. Czech postmarks seem to be the most common to find and identify.

This just seems odd. City appears to be Andorf, November 1901. The red overstamp has my curiosity, as well as the boxed Erkl (explain) anglobob any ideas? any clues?  The postmark is not "ANDORF" as that cancel was not used in that location. There is insufficient data to define the cancel. |

Triest, Northeastern area of present day Italy, a port city at the top (northernmost) Adriatic. Does anyone know what the town/village (post office?) might be. Stamp is Michel #67 10.5 perf. It is purosely upside to make it easier to read (I hope ) the obliteration.  |
