Numeral town cancel collection part III: This remarkable mounted collection covers numbers #101 to #150, including the last of the initial assignment to #135 (Zwolle), three railway post offices and then the subsequent assignment of consecutive numbers to new post office openings. For each post office/cancel, there is the post office number, the town name, a map of the Netherlands with a marking of the approximate location of the place, and some have a brief history of the town and the populations of the town during this time period as well as "present" (date unknown). Sometimes there are cancelled stamps, a number of attractive covers (almost all domestic). There is a page for the post offices for which there are no markings (#119, 131, 134, 139-150). Total of 36 covers and 94 stamps. Makes for a terrific study as these cancels became obsolete in 1893. Estimated =
