Note that “burelage” is misspelled everywhere it occurs; otherwise, very nice. An alternative word is burelé, but burelage seems to be commonest in the U.S..
C. Clements — Welcome to DCStamps. Also I appreciate you catching my error. I have fixed appropriately.
Greetings from Denmark. I collect letters from the transfer period from 1.4 to 30 -1917. Both with usa stamps and DWI frimæker – can you / anyone help me.
Tony, thank you for visiting DCStamps. Sorry, I don’t collect covers or envelopes of any kind.

We have a stamp: Dansk Vestindiske OER 10 Francs blue circle in middle with red frame. Do you know the catalog value or where we could find it?
Hi Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to visit DCStamps.
First of all, without seeing the stamp it is difficult to identify. But I can say that it is not a postage stamp, as a 10 franc postage stamp was not issued. Therefore, it is probably a revenue stamp (used to pay taxes or for various government services). Honestly I don’t know very much about revenue stamps, but it was issued in 1905 or later, when currency changed from dollars & cents to bits & francs. The Barefoot Catalogue covers revenues, but beyond that, I can’t really help you.
Sorry, and I wish you luck on your search.
Michael
H i – Can you send a scan of the stamps – I am not aware of the existence of a 10 F Best Tony
Tony, My comment about a “10F was issued” was a typo. As you can see from the context, I meant to say “was NOT issued”.
