I have this "Blue Flea" stamp that has the letter "P" printed on the back. I know that Germany, and other countries, would print 'control numbers' on the back on every fifth or tenth stamp, but, this is different. What would the letter "P" represent here?
Thanks a lot

Here is an example (not mine) of imperf corner selvage with 4 blue fleas still attached.
Bujutsu, I don't know the answer. But am equally interested in any replies!

I have a lot of these in my collection and so far I don't believe I've come across this.

Thanks all for your replies.
Out of over 2000 Blue Fleas in my collection, I have only one or two of the "Yellow Fleas"

Yellow Fleas? Are those errors?

Actually, no. These were issued in close proximity with the "Blue Fleas". You just don't see that many of them and yet, they are not that expensive.

Huh, I never heard the term blue fleas used to describe these diminutive postwar German stamps. Am correct if I term the yellow fleas as printed in the color yellow? Are they exactly like the blue stamps, same format? Is there a Michel Catalog number for the yellow fleas?
Thanks,
Bruce

In Phil's 1995 Michel the yellow labels are under the Allied Occupation - French Zone- Wurttemberg-Hohenzollern - "Zwangszuschlagsmarken" (page 784) they were used to collect money for rebuilding houses in Germany.
