A bogus issue was made for Dresden in 1865, it has the arms of Dresden with value in 'PFENNIGE', Neugroschen or 'GROSCHEN' and 'EXPRESS - COMP', the values 3 pf green, 5 pf orange, 1/2 Ngr, 1 Ngr red, 1/4 gr green, 1/3 gr lilac, 1/2 gr orange, 1 gr red, 2 gr blue and 5 gr brown exist. Envelopes of the 1/2 Ngr orange also exist.
A label exists from this company (bogus?) with inscription "EXPRESS COMPAGNIE DRESDEN Abonnement 1 Ngr. Bis zu Entfernung von 1 Viertelstunde." (see image above). A smaller label is attached to the left of it with inscription "EXPRESS - COMPAGNIE DRESDEN FREI per Expressen". The main label has text on the back as well "Jeder Dienstmann hat diesen Coupon statt eines Neugroschen in Zahlung anzunehmen und dem Auftraggeber dafur eine Tagesmarke als Garantie zu behandigen. Die Nichtabgabe der Tagesmarke is Unterschlagung.".
Another bogus issue from the same company and with inscription "RAYON" was also issued in the values 1 Ngr red, 2 Ngr black on blue or grey, 2 1/2 Ngr black on red, 2 1/2 Ngr black on grey, 3 Ngr black on yellow (RAYON I or RAYON III) amd 5 Ngr black on green (5-10 Pfd or 60-100 Pfd). There are two types of these stamps, with different shape of the values. For example the 5 Ngr exists with the lower '5's inverted. See also http://www.philateria.com/html/express-compagnie.html.
Bogus envelopes were also issued:
The "EXPRESS VERKEHR" company of E. GEUKE & Co issued parcel stamps from 1885 to1900:
"EXPRESS-VERKEHR LEIPZIG- BERLIN- DRESDEN E.GEUKE &
Co"; I have seen 10 p red, 30 p brown and 50 p grey in this
design.
"EXPRESS PACKET VERKEHR E.GEUKE & Co", '5' on 50 p
perforated. I've also seen the values 5 p green, 10 p red, 20 p
blue, 25 p brown and 50 p grey in this design. I've also seen a
100 p red in a slightly different design (same text, star in
center, but design rotated 90 degrees).
(inscription only 'PFENNIG' and value)
Parcel stamps with inscription "Dresdner Packetfahrt" were issued in 1900. Parcel stamps were also issued by 'Packetfahrt der dresdner transport u. lagerhaus a.g. Dresden', 4 with inscription and 4 without any inscription except "PFENNIG".
