Rheinperle Delikatess Margarine. Number 24 in series 4 - Inventors.    Friedrich Konig, along with Andreas Bauer, built a high speed printing press in the early 1800's which could print over 1000 sheets per hour. Not much information about this series except that most of these stamps appeared from 1900 to 1918. I have posted number 23 in this series in the Gutenberg thread.
