Lot no. 6280

Insufficiently prepaid sixfold rate local letterfront only, sent August 24th 1860 within Westerås. The manuscript "6 lod" on the bottom left-hand side of the envelope indicates sixfold rate (6x 12 öre=72 öre), the sender had prepaid 2x 12 öre. Thus the addressee had to pay the difference, 48 öre, which was accounted for by the two 24 öre stamps at bottom and marked with manuscript notation "Lösen 48 öre" on front. Certificate HOW (1990). Letters with postage due paid with normal stamps are very rare.
