To a fiscal stamp collector, perhaps.
To a postage stamp collector probably
not so much.
Maybe if someone collecting Austrian
Territory issues as an "interest getter,"
maybe something.
To me, nada.

From what I understand, they were remainders punched and marked with crayons to be passed on to the philatelic market.

Somewhere in a WW lot I purchased about a year ago there was a set of these from an approval dealer with some type of back story to it--If I can find it I will post it.

So,
"From what I understand, they were remainders punched and marked with crayons to be passed on to the philatelic market."

Only if you disqualify the remainders of the 1906 Dutch TB stamps.
They were actually remainders cancelled Jan 31, 1906 to be sold
to dealers and collectors.
It took me some time to acquire properly used circular postal
date cancels of that set.

Earlier I posted that I had a some stamps on an approval page written up. Amazingly enough I found it today!
It is from Globus Stamp Company Labeled BOSNIA - HERZEGOVINA No. 17 with a Net Price of 25 cents. It has the 2,3,5,6,10,25,30,35,45,50, and 1K value. It reads as follows:
This is the famous pictorial set of Bosnia Herzegovina issued in 1906 when it was a part of Austria. It was in Serajevo, its capital, where the shot was fired which killed the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife in 1914 and started the World War which ended with the partition of the once proud Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Bosnia Herzegovina became part of Jugoslavia to which country it was always tied racially.With fredom came revenge. So strong and fierce was their hatred for everything Austrian that the Bosnians demolished and destroyed everything left by their former rulers. Nor have these stamps escaped the national wrath. They were defaced by having holes punched through them and then were ordered to be sold as a symbol to remind the world how Jugoslavia has taken her revenge on Austria.
From the very beginning in 1906 these stamps were always scarce and are now practically unobtainable. The quantity now available is very small and in a very short time these stamps will disappear from the market altogether, in fact some values have already been sold out entirely and are no longer available.
I cannot verify the veracity of this information but an interesting story!

So you're saying you don't believe the Globus Stamp Company? Inconceivable . . .

Hello all, can you please tell me the significance of these hole punches? I always thought it was a way to say "specimen", but some of these also have crayon marks across them. Thanks for the education!
