AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Historical stamp lot – Dépôt de Mendicité de Reckheim (Oud-Rekem), Belgium, 1809-1920.
On two stamps it reads ‘Dépôt de Mendicité à Reckheim’. That refers to the beggar asylum in the castle of Oud-Rekem (Lanaken), which was designated as such in 1809. The inscription Meuse Inférieure on the other stamp suggests that stamp may still date from the French period.
The three large stamps have handles of dark turned wood, with engraved stamp heads that are probably brass.
The small stamp is likely the signature stamp of J. Dupuis, director of the refuge house in Oud-Rekem (Lanaken), Maison de refuge de Reckheim, (circa 1908).
Dimensions: two stamps are 12.5 cm high and the third is 12 cm high. The small signature stamp is 6 cm x 2.5 cm.
Total weight of all stamps together: 348 grams
