 Stamp Domain Home Page Country Index Page Algeria Resource Page List of Algerian Post Office Numbers 1852 - 1878
The original system using small figures, "petit chiffres",
was introduced in 1852. With the expansion of the network of post
offices in France and abroad this sysytem was reorganised in 1862. A
new
system, known as the "grand chiffres" (large figures), was introduced
and was in use till about 1876 when the numeral cancellations were
replaced by circular date stamps incorporating the name of the post
office. |
