Final Remarks

I have tried to summarize in these notes all the available information on worldwide squared circle postmarks I have been able to collect during the years. It is however a subject on which there is still a lot to discover as confirmed by the recent discoveries I have made of Italian and Brazilian postmarks which do not appear in any catalogue. I am very interested in receiving any type of comment or information which can help me to expand this essay and also to exchange information with other collectors of this type of postmarks ( write to stampsofitaly@yahoo.ca).

Please note that my research has not included the Hoster postmarks, which, even if they are very similar to the squared circle postmarks, are not classified in the same category. I am showing hereunder the picture of a Berlin Hoster postmark, to help understand the differences between the two types of postmarks.
