In November 1877 two
values of specimen newspaper wrappers on cream paper were produced.
They were produced
in 2 sizes 320 x 40mm and 320 x 60mm. The 40mm wrappers
were printed on sheets of 30 wrappers and the 60mm wrappers were
printed on sheets of 20 wrappers. A total of 300 sheets of each size
and value were printed. (I would like to thank Bruno Stes from
Belgium for supplying this information)
In the 1893 Belgian catalogue by J B Moens they are shown as having been issued in 1878. Contact jpkos@aol.com ©Jan Kosniowski 2007-2009Belgique - bande pour journaux neuve surchargée SPECIMEN - 5 centimes Brun - 1 centime vert |
