Good day all from Sunday Shoes!
In a moment, I have to go off to the father of my wife for the day. He lives in a beautiful old house in Amersfoort, which until about 1850 was used as a prison [there's lot of chime in the house, for who has the guts and ears to listen ;-); I normally like to stay by myself at the upper floor, under the roof, for some hours when I go there; up there there is some kind of a spot where you can listen what is said on the lower floors]. Was built in the early 16th century on the older city walls. Few modifications were made since then and it's a national monument (even though it's private property).
Won this little beauty, the 10rp stamp of this series graphically speaking is my favorite of all Pro Juventute emissions.
Roger, "Dieser stempel wird im Berner Postmuseum aufbewahrt und ist bis anhin "gebraucht" nicht nachgewiesen."
(~)= "This postmark was kept in the Bern Postal Museum and since then is not known as used"
word "Anhin": not found.
"Laut Fussnote Seite 91 war dieser Stempel "Apre le depart" damals nur aus dem Postmuseum in Bern bekannt. Seither ist er 3mal postalisch gebraucht vorgelegen, sodass nun wenigstens 3 Stuck bekannt sind, namlich von Payerne."
(~)= According to the footnote at page 91 this Postmark "APRÈS LE DEPART" in those times was only known in the Bern Postal Museum. Since then, it was found 3 times postally used, so that only 3 pieces are known, namely from Payerne.
Wonder if Cuba is a scarce destination from Switzerland.
