| TUR Cancels (1892-1924) |
 |
I have chosen to treat these cancellations separately because numeral insets were re-introduced with the TUR postmarks. These would show the date and specify which mail delivery round they were brought out to the addresse. To begin with, a total of seven trips were made daily, allowing local businesses to negotiate fast action deals by mail. They were introduced in the summer of 1892. Either tests were carried out before the official delivery date from the engraver, or that date is noted incorrectly by Langangen. Most likely a circular from June or July 1892 will inform about this practice. Can anybody find it? In July the time-date cancels at the messenger dept. appear to have served as TUR-cancellers before they were delivered primo August 1892.
It has not been possible to establish the last date of use for the TUR-postmarks. Most likely some of them were kept until the 1924/25 name change. However, the three cancellers I have found struck in Hellik Rui's order books, were struck on brown paper. At the time of the name change, engraver Rui used a white surface treated paper, but had previously used, among other times the first half of 1923, brown paper. (Hits: 724)

From engraver Rui's order books, the canceller is dated 1-2- and then the year is between 1924 and 1925. TUR 3 is inserted, a clear favorite number for this canceller... and perhaps so because the 3-digit got stuck there? The other two TUR-postmarks I have found in the order books, are without TUR-digits...
These were struck on brown paper, something engraver Rui did not use in his journal for the 1924/25-recall... but had previously used, among other times the first half of 1923.

No exact last date of use is given. Rare usage after 1905, mainly irregular shape objects, machine misses, or spur of the moment convenience.
An order book strike made by engraver Hellik Rui, reads -3-6-1919 — on brown paper. Struck in 1923 or later? No TUR-digit in the strike.
|
Last sighting is an order book strike made by engraver Rui, dated 26-5-1924. On brown paper. May have been the last day of use.

There are several periods where the order books of engraver Throndsen have notes saying the TUR cancellers were in for repairs of various sorts...
