Hello Brian!

For the index I use the catalogue “Paquebot Cancellations of the World and more …” published by Mike Dovey and Keith Morris 2010. There is the Stromness #329 registered at page 24.
Many thanks for uploading the Glasgow Maritime Mail handstamp but I will it not show in the gallery because it could be better placed on a website presenting Maritime Mail Cancellations instead of a Paquebot website.
Many thanks for the scan of Stokmarknes #619 just placed in the gallery.

Nice gallery with super illustrations – Notice you have Stromness (Orkney) which is missing from the index. Also I will try to upload a Glasgow Maritime Mail handstamp from 1977

Hello Paquetbot.Info Members.

May I ask for your kind assistance?
I am looking for information on the marking on this stamp. I believe it is a Packet Boat Postal Marking, most probably from HAMBURG dating between 1875-1890.
It reads: PACKETAMT A
and might possibly be:
PACKETAMT AUSLAND

Any and All information or Comments
are more than Welcome.
Thank You

The picture shows Bahrein #2939 in the upper line and the unlisted new mark in the lower line. The difference in length is roundabout 4-5 mm. The complete cover appears in the gallery under catchword “Bahrein unlisted (A)”.

In der unteren Zeile des Bildes ist ein noch unbekannter Stempel von Bahrein abgebildet. Zum Vergleich darüber der Stempel “Bahrein 2939″. Der Beleg ist in der Galerie unter “Bahrein unlisted (A)” zu finden.
