Item Description
TURKEY 1866 Liannos-Egyptian P.O. Constantinople Local City Post 1pa MINT MH
Genuine Local Post stamp from Liannos.
Liannos was not only acting as a Local Postal service agent for the
Turkish Government but also in a similar capacity for the Egyptian Post
Office.
From a letter dated June 1866 from a well known philatelist in Constantinople D. E. MAVROGORDATO,
> âFollowing certain engagements contracted with the Egyptian
> Post Office, Mons. Liannos, Director of the Local Post in Constantinople
> has undertaken the delivery of letters from the Egyptian Post Office.
> The supplementary delivery fee will be paid by the recipient. Unfranked
> letters will have the amount shown on the Foreign Mail stamp which has
> been issued today. These stamps indicate the amount due to the Egyptian
> Post Office to which will be added the amount due to the Local Post.
> There are four values; 10 paras on yellows 20 paras on rose 1 piastre
> red on white ; 2 Piastres blue on whiteâ.
The above now explains the wording on the stamp of which we are
speaking. The âSERVICE MIXTEâ indicated the combined Liannos--Egyptian
P.O. Of the last three lines of inscription on these stamps the amount
due to the Egyptian P.O., which was presumably paid first by Liannos on
receiving the mail from the Egyptian P.O., was inserted after the words
TAXE EXT. The Local Postage Delivery due was fixed according to weight
by the values indicated of the four stamps described. The Total was then
filled in.
