This stamp appears to have been cut from a page of a stamp album. What appears to be a cancellation is on the upper right ("schilling post.."). I'm suspicious. SG values this stamp unused at around 10 pounds. However, if used, value goes to over 12 times that.

Experts?

It's not a cancel it's an overprint.

This was a standard part of the design of many early postal stationery items from the German States.

I'm afraid not. There's not much interest in cut-outs.

Hey "bigcreekdad". Do you want to do a trade?

I'll send you a leftover Hotdog after the SuperBowl in return for your used Hamburg.

Cheers, Dave.
