Residents of
Theresienstadt were allowed to receive parcels every two
months, provided the sender first obtained a parcel
admission stamp and affixed it to the wrapper before
posting.

Below:
An April 16, 1944, example of the parcel admission stamp
properly used on piece; also, a January 13, 1945, notice to
Prague resident Jaroslav Brumik that he can personally pick
up a Concessionary stamp to mail a parcel to Ella Brenner at
Theresienstadt; the stamp must be picked up personally
within eight days at the office of the Jewish Elders
Council.
The Michel
catalogue states that the listing for the Theresienstadt
parcel admission stamp on cover means a canceled stamp on a
piece of parcel wrapper, "genuinely" canceled, undamaged
items are rare. This example is unusual being larger than
most, and including a bilingual boxed red postage due
marking. Expertized and Signed Gilbert. |
