These stamps were intended for the Kleinwalsertal in Vorarlberg, the domestic postage of the Austrian post was valid for shipments to Austria, the domestic postage of the German federal post was valid for shipments to Germany , which made these values necessary.

Market value
Since this series has been in use for a long time, the range is relatively high. In mint condition the values with high face values are of course most valuable. However, the price fell slightly due to the changeover to the euro (which means that the brands are no longer valid). A mint stamp of 50.00 Schilling from 1975 can be bought for EUR 3.00 at online auctions. In the stamped state, you can get around 1000 stamps for one euro at online auctions, which corresponds to a value of 0.1 euro cents per stamp. A complete series (28 values) is neatly canceled for 5.00 euros, mint never hinged for 15.00 euros. Individual, beautifully canceled stamps (with round stamps and clearly legible date and place information) are traded much higher. The values given here are empirical values and cannot be compared with the catalog prices, which are usually much higher. Catalog prices are, however, suitable for comparing stamps with one another. (Prices as of 2006)
Edition numbers
The edition numbers of the stamps are not known, but the most common items are the values of 2.50 Schilling, 3.00 Schilling and 4.00 Schilling, as these denominations covered a frequently used postage rate for a long time. One can assume that some of these values have a circulation of several hundred million pieces. The rarest values in this series are: 0.20 Schilling, 4.20 Schilling, 5.60 Schilling and 50.00 Schilling.
