Belgian Postal Stamp with 'NORD' Duplex Postmark

This item is a vintage Belgian postal stamp, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, given the style and visible numbering. The stamp itself appears to be rectangular with perforated edges, indicative of standard postal stamp production methods. The primary color of the stamp's background is a faded reddish-orange or salmon hue. A clearer red border frames the central design, which features a faint, possibly allegorical, figure or bust. The denomination '0.10' is visible in the upper left corner, suggesting a value of 10 centimes. Below the figure, the word 'BELGIQUE' (French for Belgium) is printed vertically along the left side. The stamp has been used, as evidenced by a prominent, dark black duplex postmark that diagonally overlays the stamp. The postmark is a key feature and provides significant information. The upper circular part of the cancel clearly shows 'NORD' (North) and '5 JUIN 190X' where the last digit of the year is obscured but appears to be '0' or '1' (e.g., 1901 or 1900 or 1909). The lower rectangular portion of the postmark appears to say 'OUVRE', which could indicate the specific postal office or region within the 'NORD' department (e.g., Oupeye, a Belgian municipality). The stamp shows signs of age, with some slight discoloration and minor wear along the edges, consistent with being a used postage stamp. The postmark is heavily impressed, partially obscuring the stamp's design, which is common for used stamps. The condition of the perforations appears relatively intact, although some might be slightly frayed. The watermark or specific paper type is not discernible from the image. The craftsmanship of the stamp itself suggests typical governmental philatelic production of the era, focusing on clear printing and secure adhesion for postage.
