part postmarks(again)
This is odds and sods time
a) France 1. xxx (S ? )PRIT -Haute Pyrenees. I can find 2 on internaute.com but neither is in this department. Has it changed its name ? Any other explanation ? On a 50c "semeuse" 2. Les-Bains( poss)xxxx on a 1912 25c Semeuse. Puy de Dome department. I can find a somewhere-les-Bains in Puy de Dome. Could it be a Les bains de xxxxxx ? b) Germany 3.xxxLZE 1932 Reich stamp. Postmark says also Hannover. Is it a sub- office of Hannover City or another town in Hannover State ? c) Norway 4. ?? okks ??? 60o 1940 Lion 5.?? okken (space) v(?) o of okken has a diagonal line through.On same stamp as above. d) Malaya 6. xx lan ( Jalan ?)

I have found on Google a Houroha harbour,( one reference only ) and no post code or post office or other reference to a settlement - so this must be wrong. I am open to any other suggestions ! Please note in my defence these have all been soaked by previous owners of the stamps - I do not destroy ANY legible postmarks by soaking !!! I have only recently started trying to identify part postmarks and so far (with a little help from my friends here) not many have beaten me. Malcolm |

On a 50c "semeuse" Blair (TC) a écrit : Esprit Montagne (Cauterets) in H.P. ? It is a ski resort. http://demo.esi-cauterets.com/fr/index.aspx Cauterets is indeed a very nice old skiing resort in the Pyrenees. But I wonder that it could be Esprit, the name of a skiing school that has surely been created recently and which was *certainly* not existing at the time of the 50c "semeuse" (~ 1920 - 1930). IIRC, those "Ecoles de Ski Internationales" were created (in France) only in the 80's. Additionnally, I cannot see how the name of a ski school could be on a postmark (unless it is part of an advertisement on the side of the postmark itself : what we call a "flamme" in France's philately). Unless Malcolm can show us a scan, I give up ! -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade courtiade at free dot fr |

This is odds and sods time Hello Malcolm, and the group. I didn't know this "odds and sods" expression. Good for my english, thanks. In french: "bricoles", small and unimportant objects, matters. a) France 1. xxx (S ? )PRIT -Haute Pyrenees. I can find 2 on internaute.com but neither is in this department. Has it changed its name ? Any other explanation ? On a 50c "semeuse" For this one, i can't imagine any answer without a scan. 2. Les-Bains( poss)xxxx on a 1912 25c Semeuse. Puy de Dome department. I can find a somewhere-les-Bains in Puy de Dome. Could it be a Les bains de xxxxxx ? This one should read either "Les Bains du Mont Dore" or "Les Bains du Mt Dore" (the same place, the name may be abreviated or not). Best regards, -- Cordialement, Bruno |

Houhora - just because it's not listed anywhere doesn't mean it doesn't exist! It is right up at the pointed end of the North Island of New
Zealand, roughly halfway between Kaitaia and Cape Reinga. I am totally guessing here but I would say that it used to be a harbour from which the kauri timber was shipped. It has a tavern and a road called Cemetery Road, both of which are usually a good sign that timber was ripped out of there during the 19th century. You only needed to have two guys living in a tin shed in those days for the Post Office to open a branch for you, possibly as part of the many services that would have been offered by the tavern. When the post office got privatised in the 1980s, hundreds of post offices like this got closed down or at least lost their date stamps with all mail being shipped to the big town for franking.

Thanks all for your input
Bruno "odds and sods" is a slang form of "odds and ends" - not so much unimportant as " a selection of unrelated items" without a specific theme - as in this case a selection of postmarks from different countries - rather than a question on one country in particular. Glad to help with the English - however as in all "living" languages meanings can change over time and can differ in diffrent English- speaking countries ( and even in different regions of the same country - regrettably "true" dialect is dying out but remnants docarry on - with 'owd folk like me. ). All Unfortunately I have a number of computer problems at the moment, one of them being a reluctant scanner. Les Bains...etc. This is probable I suppose but cannot find on l'internaute.Probably my fault I have come to rely on this too much I think. Back to fallingrain.... ....sprit. This is definitely the end of the word at the top of the pmk ,and Pyrenees is at the end of the bottom ( can it be anything other than "Haute Pyrenees" I only have an up-to-date list of "modern" departments - in former times were the "ancien regions" used in postmarks? ). Left hand half of postmark is off-stamp. Rodney Tangabalanga and Dunbogan are the likeliest I think - both are at the end of the word with letters before. I do curse these people who soak off "small town" postmarks ( admittedly I have been guilty in the past before I took an interest in such things ) Thanks again to all - any further flashes of inspiration are welcome !!!

Les Bains...etc. This is probable I suppose but cannot find on l'internaute.Probably my fault I have come to rely on this too much I think. Back to fallingrain.... I am sure that Bains du Mt Dore is in Puy de Dôme, you can rely on that. But today it is just "Le Mont-Dore", perhaps that is what got you stuck. ...sprit.

Left hand half of postmark is off-stamp. OK ! then it probably is "Basses-Pyrénées", another département, and the picture gets more clear, I propose "Bayonne-St-Esprit", a secondary post-office of the city of Bayonne (Bayonne ham is not so bad to start a lunch). -- Cordialement, Bruno |
