Stamp Design
The stamps depict a bugle atop the Swiss coat of arms. They are labeled with their denomination and with the corresponding rayon or, as the case may be, as stamps for local mail. All stamps were issued in German and French, with the French versions substituting "cts." for "Rp." and "Poste locale" for "Orts-Post". They were printed lithographically on imperforate white paper.
