LUXEMBOURG

Invalidated 10c Adolphe Postal Card

Used in 1925 with 15c Charlotte

Luxembourg-Ville to Dommeldange,

3 Jul 1925

The 15c Charlotte stamp has been removed, and is hinged below the 10c Adolphe Postal Card imprint (Prifix 54) to reveal that the card's stamp imprint has been invalidated! The reason for the invalidation is explained below.

Emergency Use of Obsolete Luxembourg Postal Stationery
During a World War 1 Paper Shortage

In early 1918, World War 1 was winding down. Due to wartime demands, paper shortages were widespread. Here’s how the government responded when Enschedé in Holland temporarily lacked the paper needed to print government orders for the then-current Coat of Arms postal cards.

The Allegory postal stationery had been demonetized, effective January 1, 1906, but approximately 5,000 to 7,000 unused Allegory and Grand Duke Adolphe postal cards remained in government storage. By directives dated April 18 and April 23, 1918, the government ordered that these obsolete postal cards be distributed to post offices whose supplies of postal cards had been depleted.

Before distributing the obsolete cards, the government invalidated the stamp imprint with a three-concentric-ring obliterator and instructed postal clerks to add adhesive stamps

Thailand’s international postal rates were increased effective 1 February 2022. The Thailand Post announcement also states that:
Shipments of less than 500g can be sent by simple airmail without the green Customs Declaration Form CN22.
However, the Customs Declaration Form CN22 must be completed and affixed to all registered shipments.

I charge only 2 Euros for non-registered (non-trackable) airmail shipping worldwide.
But if you choose 2-Euro shipping, you hereby agree that such shipping
is entirely at your risk, and that by bidding, you hereby waive and give up
any Paypal, Mango Pay, or other third-party recourse for loss.

Alternatively, expensive trackable registered airmail shipping is available.
It requires that I complete and affix a CN22 form to the shipment.

To most Asian countries: ~6.50 Euros
To most European countries: ~7.50 Euros
To the USA: ~10.00 Euros
To most other countries in the Americas: ~7.50 Euros
On shipments of €40.00 or more, I may require registered shipping.

Last, Thai Post has regrettably suspended normal airmail shipping to some small countries.
I will advise when I send your invoice if service to your country remains suspended.
In such instance, you can provide an alternate address, or we can cancel the transaction.
