One of the postcards kept in the Alexander collection was sent in 1903 from the post office installed on the passenger ship "Tyrol" which was owned by the "Austrian Lloyd" shipping company. This rare stamp is a document of the extensive activity of the Austrian shipping company which controlled a significant part of the maritime traffic in the Eastern Mediterranean in the period preceding the First World War.

On January 25, 1920, the post office of the northern part of Schleswig region issued special stamps that were used during the period when the region held a referendum. In this referendum, the residents decided on their desire to join Denmark.
