Hello, can someone show me where I can place very old letters (photos) on Catawiki somewhere because of pre-philately. As if sealed with candle wax and stuff ..

Thank you in advance!

Geoff

Personally, I would also consider stamps like that to be covered by stamps, but that's just my opinion. An interesting question!

Hoi Geoff77

Mail items from before the stamp are part of the eo-philately (ie the period before the stamp)

This is indeed part of the philately, Catawiki has for as far as I know no place for this yet, oe-philatelic postal items are rare and unfortunately often false

The study of this (and the inspection) is extremely complex

I am very curious about you contribute in this

Okay then, thanks in advance for the answers, I am going to put this to the test and add 1 stamp letter to the catalog.

Then you get a better view of what I mean, and if an administrator or something isn't satisfied, he can delete it. In my next comment I will also give a link to my addition to what I mean by 'eo-philately'.

Greetings,

Geoff

Hi here I have added that letter with stamp to the catalog.

Catawiki number is: 4200313

Little information:

Paul Friederich is on the stamp V: G: G: Grozherzog Von Mecklenburg

Just looked up and this man is said to have led the German Empire from 1837 to 1842.

That's all I know about it.

In the future there will be more of those letters here, but also more postcards and letters sealed with red wax.

Greetings!

(edit: typo)
