Encased Stamp GERMANY Crefeld. Haberdasher. Rare issuer

Celluloid type, about 33mm, issued 1919-20. Paul Mouritz, men's clothes, from the town of Crefeld. Decidedly scarcer issuer, nad the stamp value --30-Pfennig-- is also uncommon. Will likely sell for more than $100, but the is NO RESERVE, as i don't believe in reserves.

Condition: AU or perhaps Unc. Signs of circulation are hard to see on the celluloid types.

Please check the bottom of this page for direct links to my other Encased Postage --about two dozen, from Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain (Civil War –true encasements!) and USA (Souvenir issue).--on eBay this week. Included are paper issues from Germany with stamps inserted (these are much scarcer). I expect to list 200-250 pieces this year, from many countries including USA, so if you are interested, please make me a “Favorite Seller”. If you have previously bought Encased Postage from me, you should be receiving eMail notices from me, with direct links to the listings.
