"notopfer" berlin, what is it?
hello, I'd like to describe my question in words but I can't so I'll let
pictures speak, maybe someone can just briefly say what this odd creature is, what it may be worth, does it come in different varieties, I acquired a few of them, and would like to know if they deserve a place in my collection, or in any collection for that matter. http://photobucket.com/albums/y24/TH...current=17.jpg thank you. |
Hi
I have an old Michel Germany specialized that lists the Zwangszuchlagsnarken but takes 6 pages. From memory they were a postal tax on letters with the tax going to help Berlin during the shut down of ground transportation by the Soviet Union in east Germany. In the US they are considered cinderellas.

If you search Google Groups (rec.collecting.*) for
