I just cannot seem to id this stamp. Not Germany, not Poland, not Austria?
Anyone to give me a clue? Currency "Frankfurter" ?
Could it be a town private issue? A revenue?
Thanks in advance. rrr...

Try this link for a basic ID.

Google 'Frankofurtia' and 'Frankofortia' for background information. Verkehr means transport.

That would make your stamp #10 in the Michel Privatpostemarken Kataloge according to the link. I don't have that catalog to verify nor give you a date of issue.

Your postmark is for 1895 and the German private posts were banned around the turn of the century.
