  • Losnr. : 6231 Frankreich

    1872/74: Registered court documents, sent under wrapper from Toulon to Hyères, then to Bruxelles, bearing Cérès 5 c. green and 25 c. blue type III in a horizontal strip of three, the multiple tied by "TOULON-SUR-MER VAR 28 MAI 76", the single adhesive lateron (May 31, 1876). Front and reverse of the unopened item show a whole plethora of French and Belgian postmarks, finally the item was returned to the sender. rnNote: The item was first franked at 75 c. for a registered inland item and presumably directed to Hyères where the receiver had left without address, a "RETOUR A L'ENVOYEUR" handstamp was struck and the item was returned to the sender, the court in Toulon. The receiver's new address was figured out, an additional 5 c. adhesive was added to pay the 80 c. registered UPU rate and a strip of paper with the new Bruxelles address was added over the old address. In Bruxelles, however, the receiver refused the item and it was returned to Toulon. An astonishing piece of postal history, in addition an early registered letter abroad.
