Thanks again to Moose Snoot of Sweden for trolling the bowels of the internet for info. Possibly we should don him k.k. Moose Snoot of Sweden for his contributions?


Joseph Kolezky, gewes. Bchsnemacher....



Herr Johann Koletzky, k.k. Hof-Bchsenmacher, mit Gattin, aus Wien.

I'm not sure I follow you on the "1900" stamp: are you saying it is not a proofhouse stamp? Could the dies have been worn and were changed out by 1909?

Cheers,
