Numerical 0.45, 0.35 and 0.65 Ruble Inflation Tariff Stamps on Various Postcards

The stamps were mechanically fixed onto the postcards. In the case of the 0.45 Ruble stamp, its face value was added to the face value of the postcard, thus producing the total face value.

The 0.35 and 0.65 stamps were produced only for the purposes of calibrating the printing equipment and were never intended for use in the postal system. Some examples are known to have been circulated, however, used examples are almost certainly fake. Various postcards of the USSR and Moldova were used.
