The machine-made FIUME overprint on Hungarian postage stamps

There are two types of the machine-made overprints

By the order of the Italian National Council, which under the Allied Administration took over all the power in Rijeka, Hungarian stamps were overprinted from December 3 to 23, 1918. Complete sheets were overprinted with the machine-made overprint from December 3 to 5, 1918 in Urania, the printing-house in Rijeka. Only a small part was overprinted in incomplete sheets.
