Insufficiently prepaid double rate letter postmarked STJERNHOF 8.12.1873" and sent to Arboga. From Arboga the letter was delivered to the addressee in Koberg, who had a delivery agreement with the post office in Arboga that their letters could be carried in an open mail bag (lösväska) without any notification fees being paid (normally 6 öre) so only 12 öre postage due was charged and cancelled "ARBOGA 9.12.1873". Letters with postage due paid with normal stamps, are very rare.
