It seems that a certain F. Frommknecht issued a stamp somewhere in the 1850's for Hamburg (actually Poseldorf). The stamp has a value of 1/4 Sch and has the colour black and lilac. In the design a double circle with 'F. Frommknecht' at the top and 'Poseldorf' at the bottom can be found. The value in situated in the center. I have never seen this stamp personally. If anybody has an image of this stamp, please contact me!
