new censorship stamp Lb? (not sure maybe someone already mentioned it and I missed it)
Antonina Metelska (from the text: Антося Петровна Метельська)
postcard to: Petru Metelskomu
address: Самгородський район, Samhorodskyj rajon; Воскодавинці, Woskodawynzi
„employer“: bei Richard Hampel - in Kreisewitz (today: Krzyżowice (Głubczyce))- Kr. Leobschütz
edit:
maybe Antonina was forced to work in agriculture, there is an Eduard Hampel, listed as the owner of an estate in Kreisewitz
(taken from „Adreßbuch des Schlesischen Grundbesitzes 1910“ book p.113; doc. page 121)
Mir ist der Zensurstempel “Lb” bisher noch nicht untergekommen.
I haven’t come across the „Lb“ censorship stamp yet.
Very interesting!
stamps with the letter “A” indicate passage through the Auslandsbriefprüfstelle (ABP)
Stamps with the letter “L”, by contrast, belong to the Auslandsleitstelle: such items were already separated there on the basis of the address (for example, mail to public offices or government authorities) and therefore normally did not go through the regular ABP examination.
I cannot say now why this exact letter went through the second possible way unfortunately.
thanks, I’ll put the stamp and the provided explanation on the pinboard.
