Description from the seller

Collection of classical stamps from Austria (the Empire, Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and the early Republic of Deutschösterreich). Also a German service stamp is in the assortment.

The pieces mainly originate from the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century.
Blue 5-Heller stamps: At the very top and further down there are several blue 5-Heller definitives from 1908-1916. They depict the profile of Emperor Franz Joseph I to celebrate his 60-year reign (issue 1908).

Dark Kreuzer stamp: In the upper third a square, dark 2-Kreuzer stamp (newspaper stamp issue).

Lawinenopfer 1954 (left and middle): These two blue-gray stamps were issued in February 1954 as surcharge stamps to raise money for the victims of the devastating avalanche disaster in Vorarlberg (especially in the village of Blons). The postage value was 1 Schilling + 20 Groschen surcharge.
