- Description:
- Pre-cancellation of type b 1 (MICHEL) : typographic overprint with the location (mono- or bilingual) and year of validity (four-digit).
This overprint is used on this stamp from 1933 till 1936.
MICHEL grants only 1 number for this overprint, regardless of the location or the position of it. Belgian Specialized Catalog however grants a different number for location. It also distinguishes the precancels according to the position of the overprint:
A = readable from the bottom to the top
B = readable from the top to the bottom
This gives the following list of precancels:
PRE262 = ANTWERPEN 1933, only position A
PRE263 = BRUXELLES 1933 BRUSSEL, only position A
PRE264 = LIEGE 1933, only position A
PRE279 = ANTWERPEN 1934, position A or B
PRE280 = BRUXELLES 1934 BRUSSEL, only position A
PRE281 = LIEGE 1934, only position A
PRE290 = ANTWERPEN 1935, only position A
PRE291 = BRUXELLES 1935 BRUSSEL, only position A
PRE292 = LIEGE 1935, only position A
PRE301 = ANTWERPEN 1936, only position A
PRE302 = BRUXELLES 1936 BRUSSEL, position A or B
PRE303 = LIEGE 1936, only position A
Attention: there are also other, hand placed pre-cancellations with monolingual or bilingual indication of the location and a two- or four-digit indication of the year of validity. These are no typographic overprints and MICHEL doesn't grant a catalog number for such hand placed (type a) precancels. The Belgian Specialized Catalog distinguishes more than 6000 different hand placed precancels. - Buy Now:

- Description:
- Pre-cancellation of type b 2 (MICHEL) : typographic overprint with “BELGIQUE – BELGIE” and the year of validity (four-digit) in the middle.
This overprint is used on this stamp from 1932 till 1936.
MICHEL grants only 1 number for this overprint, regardless of year of validity. Belgian Specialized Catalog however grants a different number for every year. It also distinguishes the precancels according to the position of the overprint:
A = readable from the bottom to the top
B = readable from the top to the bottom
This gives the following precancels:
PRE254 = “BELGIQUE 1932 BELGIE” only position A
PRE261 = “BELGIQUE 1933 BELGIE” position A and B
PRE278 = “BELGIQUE 1934 BELGIE” position A and B
PRE289 = “BELGIQUE 1935 BELGIE” only position A
PRE300 = “BELGIQUE 1936 BELGIE” only position A
Attention: there are also other, hand placed pre-cancellations with monolingual or bilingual indication of the location and a two- or four-digit indication of the year of validity. These are no typographic overprints and MICHEL doesn't grant a catalog number for such hand placed (type a) precancels.
