This is obviously Michel Number 12; the cancellation date shows that. It is rouletted. I've never seen a rouletted example and can't find a reference to rouletted issues. Michel notes perforation varieties, but as far as I can see, does not mention rouletting.
What am I missing?

Looks like it can be rouletted.

I have this wrapper from Whipperfurth but can not figure out how to read the date the wrapper was mailed. It is November 10 (I think) but the year?

Hi Jopie,
Yes, it appears to be posted on the 10th of November in Wipperfürth in what was then Prussia and sent to Oldenburg. The year isn't specified.
I believe the AUSG. mark is from Oldenburg applied when it was sorted for delivery.
The 7-8A will be be the collection or processing time, i.e. the period 7pm to 8pm, where the letter A represents the evening (Abend).

it appears that the rectangular cancel was used at the end of the North German Confederation period, around 1870. Before Wipperfürth used the numeral cancel with four concentric rings and the number 1650. When the unification of Germany was complete (the German Reich) in 1871, a round cancel with name and proper date (including year) was used, but at that time the Confederation stamps were not used anymore either. So an educated guess would be 10 November 1870.

nk you. Nigel and Jansimon for that great explanation of the cancel! Makes perfect sense to me! I had tried the Michel catalogue but could not find that particular cancel. Thanks!
