All issues originally displayed a 'No' before the item number, but this had been left out from about 1911, leaving the registration number offset to the right; occasionally one sees remainders of the 'No.'. Also the paper underwent numerous changes in these years. The thin, yellow, so-called Pelure paper of the monarchy underwent many changes in the last years of the monarchy and the first of the First Republic. The dark, yellow thin paper changed to a light yellow, almost white thin paper; later the quality became worse, the papers became thick, harsh and in shades between grey and light brown. At one stage in 1919 a hard, thin, dark brown paper was used: evidently someone wanted a clear colour difference to document his dislike of the imperial colors black/yellow.

This is one of the dark brown labels; posted in 1919.
This Austrian label was used in March 1921 on a letter from Czernowitz (which was formerly in Bukowina but by that date was in Romania) addressed to die lobl. Verwaltung der Wöllersdorfer Werk (ehemalige Munitionsfabrik) in Wöllersdorf, Deutsch Österreich.
