Some parcel stamps were issued by the Kieler Packetfahrt. I have seen the values 5 p green (see image above), 50 p violet (similar design as the 5 p) and a stamp with 'P' in the center (see image above) in the colour orange. They were issued around 1910.
1869(?) Bogus issue for Kissingen-Schweinfurt (Bavaria):
This issue is mentioned as 'Speculations' or 'Schwindelmarke' in Ferdinand Meyer's 'Handbuch fur Postmarkensammler' (Nuremberg 1881). Strong doubts about the genuineness of these stamps were already expressed in 'The American Journal of Philately' 1869, page 119. They seem to have been marketed by Ferdinand Elb (The Stamp Collectors Magazine, Dec, 1869, page 179).
