There is also a documentation for the ‘Salonika’ Branch Post Office, and the Trial Cancellations, which were in use in Minor Asia during the turn of the 19th century.

Highlights incl an 1868 G. Rohlfs letter to Germany dated 1868 (‘FIELD FORCE POST OFFICE / ABYSSINIA’), numerous combination covers and cards of the 1898-1908 period, as well as Proofs and Trial Overprints of the 1920’s issues.

The Ethiopia 1894 ‘Province Block’ is offered; the item is considered in many quarters to be the world’s first Souvenir Sheet.
