For the first time i noted and recorded here that various
Imprinted Envelopes exist in several envelope sizes,
Something not noted, recorded and reported previously. Similar to what i have noted, recorded and published
also for the
Nairn Publicity Envelopes.
Notes:
-
Black and White (B/W) images are
images copied from the handbook and are only shown as reference, neither
in actual size, nor are they described.
-
If a link in the column "Cover Image" is provided,
a fully size high resolution image of the cover bearing the respective
Handstamp. That image will open in a new layer.
-
If you copy the image that has been scanned from the
original cover and open and enlarge it with a graphic program you will see
measuring lines around the handstamp imprint. These lines indicate the
measuring border from which the actual measurement has been taken.
