 Postage Stamps used in the German Marshall Islands Cancel to Order of Non-German Stamps by Dirk H.R. Spennemann |

 Set of Samoan Palm Tree 'Provisional Government' stamps, cancelled on 10 January 1901, almost one year after they were no longer valid.[1] |
 Spanish Philippines stamp with a Saipan cancel (19 April 1901). The item is a philatelic creation made in Saipan, using a genuine cancel. Friedemann depicts such an example with the same date as well as the same stamp.[2] |
