1901. cash franking from the steamer Koenig. "DEUTSCHE SEEPOST OST-AFRIKANISCHE HAUPTLINIE 31.12.01" on ppc with manuscripted "Porto cassiert" (porto recieved) posted for Oppeln with arrival mark. Contrary to the VINETA provisorial this was the correct handling in case of stamp shortage. This explains why it was accepted by the GPO in Berlin for exact 57 items. Only a few items of this rarity are known. ÷ 1901, BARFRANKIERUNG DAMPFER KOENIG: "DEUTSCHE SEEPOST OST-AFRIKANISCHE HAUPTLINIE 31.12.01" ideal auf AK, darüber handschriftl. Barfrankierungsvermerk "Porto cassiert" nach Oppeln mit Ankunftstpl., im Gegensatz zu den Vineta-Provisorien u.ä. ist die hier angewendete Barfrankierung mit entspr. Vermerk des Zahlmeisters auf der Postkarte die einzig korrekte und zulässige Notmaßnahme bei Markenmangel gewesen. Dies erklärt auch, warum die nachweislich 57 Barfrankierungen von diesem Dampfer als auch vom Reichspostamt in Berlin nachträglich anerkannt wurden, winziger Eckbug, nur wenige Stücke bekannt - größte Rarität.
