Port postmark from TRIEST / TRIESTE

Port stamp for outgoing mail

In addition to the port where the mail item was accepted for carriage before the ship left, these stamps also had the addition „COL VAPORE”. The Trieste postmark with the addition „A BORDO” differs from this.

17.XII.1863 With Steam from Trieste, Trieste-Alessandria line.

In use from 1.19.1852 to 18.10.1864

Port stamp for incoming mail

Non-date postmarks were used in Trieste and various ports on the Adriatic. These were used to cancel the stamps of the unstamped mail items taken over by ships. Most of these stamps do not indicate the place of origin. In their text they only express that the transport was carried out by sea or by ship. The postmark „COL VAPORE” was also provided with a handwritten additional note on various occasions, from which it can be seen from which port the mail item came from. Some of the postmarks mentioned come from the time of the first stamp issues. There are also some postmarks that state the place and their origin. Some of these postmarks were also in use before the issue of stamps in 1867.

In use at the free port office; the two letters M are the initials of the word Magazin. Probably a similar cancellation with changed wording was also in use in Zara.

From METELINO (Lespos island) via TRIESTE 8 „M 23.XII.1911 M” to BUCHS (Switzerland customs) and on to Neuchatel (Switzerland).
