Ah, two notes. OK. I mistakenly thought it was obverse and reverse of a single note. Those both are now added to my wish list. I believe that makes around seven or so notes -that I am aware of- that I don't yet have in my collection.
I would like to complete this collection but the hunt is fun, too!

The hunting is for sure the best. Its nice as well when you obtain a piece you have wanted for a long time and it is actually part of your collection. Do you know Tieste's notgeld site? That's a good place to see values of pieces. The small stamp like pieces are about 15 euros each.

I did not. Thank you for that. It looks like a very good site to explore.

 Reinhard wrote the very extensive verkehrsausgaben notgeld catalogues which include the private issues. I met him at his house in Germany once.......quite a few years ago. If ever I am thinking of purchasing a 'better' notgeld piece, I always tend to check his price first, if he has it listed.  Here is the link if anyone else doesn't know it yet : http://tieste.de

A Konsum- und Sparverein would be a Cooperative and Savings Union (or Association) - a bit like a Co Op store but with the added facilities of the Co-Operative Bank,

Anyone can read more about it on my 'Latest News' article for May which is on my notgeld website. There is also a link to Nate's book on the article.

I just won this in an online auction. It's the first time I've seen this stamp and I'm not even sure if it's Notgeld or not. I didn't have time to properly research it before the auction ended so I rolled the dice.  The RM makes me wonder if the denomination isn't WWII era Reichsmark.

Rentenmark I believe but outside of my collecting knowledge and area.

It is a fee stamp/revenue stamp, proof of fee paid for something. So not notgeld. I guess it could be either Rentenmark or Reichsmark, RM was used to denote both.
