"56" Postage due charge mark on small unpaid folded letter with contents postmarked Paris July 2nd 1874 and sent to Stockholm. The charge mark was struck at a date when the postage due adhesives were already in use. The Stockholm Post office affixed 6 + 50 öre, totalling 56 öre, when the letter arrived at this post office. They were then cancelled July 5th 1874 when the letter was picked up. The combination of a handstruck charge mark and postage due adhesives is very rare.
