New LRD for Stephansort 3 star cds - T8
In the recent Prestige Philately auction (No.106 - 5th Dec 2003), lot 301 raised a question about the latest recorded date for the Stephansort 3 star cds previously thought to have been in use during 1898/99:
Stephansort 'STEPHANSORT/19 12/07/***' ""relief"" cds (3 stars at base) tying 25pf to cover to Germany (b/s), Type 3 Registration Label ('Stephansort' only). Offered ""as is"". [Loughran gives LRD as 23.5/99 so usage 9 years later must be questioned. However, the label is the type introduced in 1907] |  |
