Hi Treacan,
it is "Postgebiet Ob(erbefehlshaber) Ost. 1916 Michel # 10 , catalogue value 8.00 ?. These stamps were used in Lithuania and Kurland. Kind regards Gerhard "Treacan" schrieb im Newsbeitrag oups.com...

Kind regards Gerhard Hi Treacan and Gerhard, With the help of Gerhard's answer I found it in Scott. The # is IN10 (design A16) 40 pf lake & blk [end of Lithuania chapter "Occupation stamps" "Issued under German Occupation"] BTW, why this name "lake" for this colour ??? On Treacan's scan http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...CF/Grm-ARB.jpg I see what I would name a carmine colour. -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade to answer me, please replace NOSPAM by my family name |

Here's an eBay guide which attempts to show the difference. http://tinyurl.com/yb5n3l The $1 Queen Victoria Jubilee issue from Canada is listed in Scott and Unitrade as "lake" in colour. http://tinyurl.com/yhby5t My old Stanley Gibbons Colour Guide also considers lake to be darker than carmine.

Ryan Many thanks Ryan for your quick and very helpful answer. Now I can see the difference between the two colours. This led me to another question : why this word "lake" which (at least in my poor knowledge of English) was only meaning a large pond. I found the answer on the Merriam-Webster on-line dictionnary site : http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary Main Entry: 2 lake Function: noun Etymology: French laque lac, from Old Occitan laca, from Arabic lakk -- more at LACQUER 1 a : a purplish red pigment prepared from lac or cochineal b : any of numerous usually bright translucent organic pigments composed essentially of a soluble dye absorbed on or combined with an inorganic carrier 2 : CARMINE 2 I will remember that the lake colour is at litlle bit more purplish than the carmine one. Thanks again Ryan. -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade to answer me, please replace NOSPAM by my family name |
