Lot no. 6571

Address letter sent July 1st 1873 from Gefle to Stockholm. The postage for this parcel (weighing 2 Skålpund, 41 ort) and sent over 3 zones, should have been charged 3x 12 öre=36 öre and therefore charged the minimum rate, 50 öre. So, either the address letter was heavier than 4 ort or the postmaster wrongly charged 12 öre for a single letter. Certificate HOW (1995).
