In the German Empire there were seal stamps for almost every municipality and its administrative parts as well Princely houses, Ministries, Imperial offices, Governments of the member states/countries, State directors, Diplomacy, Military, Post and telegraph, Railways, Cities, Police, Universities, Schools, Lawyers, Notaries, etc.
There are also countless business and private marks.
Use
Seal stamps were used from about 1850 to 1945 to seal envelopes and mark written correspondence.
They replaced the wax seals and sealing wax that had been used up until then.
Some wax seals :
Kaiserliche Marine Fortifikation zu Cuxhaven
Kaiserliche Marine Kommandantur Helgoland
From around 1920 the use of seal stamps gradually declined.
After 1933 only a few official offices used them.
A few seals are still used today to close important shipments or shipments that are to be treated confidentially.
The packaging of commercial items is also often secured with seals to prove their original condition when handed over to the user.
Collecting seal stamps is considered a part of Erinnophilia (*) or a subsidiary part of philately.
They are collected according to geographical criteria, subject areas or motifs.
( * Erinophilia describes the collection area of non-postal stamps that exists independently alongside philately.
Examples of such marks are seal marks, stamps, revenue stamps, tax stamps, advertising marks, cinderellas and vignettes.
There are also collecting areas that overlap with philately, e.g. B. with the semi-official flight stamps.
The term was coined by the French collector Dr. Cazin. )
Executions and Issuers
Seal stamps were usually designed as gummed, mostly round or oval stick-on seals made of paper and were issued by authorities, but also by companies or private individuals.
They were the size of a postage stamp, a common measurement being 4 cm in diameter, for example.
In the Kingdom of Saxony there were also rectangular seal stamps.
Most of the seals were not only printed in color, but also embossed to indicate a similar appearance as a wax or lacquer seal.
In more recent times, seal stamps (also in the form of strips: seal strips) have also been made from plastic foils, the special adhesive of which ensures that the removal of the mark leads to visible damage or destruction of the mark.
Particularly secure seals bear a hologram print and a unique consecutive number.
Official stamps often have a coat of arms motif.
Seal stamps from private individuals were decorated with family crests or initials, for example.
But there are also trademarks without pictorial representations, which only have a text inscription.
Postal seal stamps
The postal authorities had their own seals, so-called postal seals, which were used to seal damaged or opened mail.
These stamps were used for mail that had been sent to the post office open or damaged in transit or had to be opened by the post office because it was undeliverable and then had to be sealed again.
Today, the postal seal is replaced by an outer packaging.
At Deutsche Post, for example, items that are damaged during shipping are packed in an additional plastic sleeve before delivery.
