From Gemmenich to Verviers in 1919



This cover was sent from Gemmenich at some unknown date and arrived at its destination in Verviers on 25 February 1919 after transit in Welkenraedt on 24 February 1919.
It is worth comparing this cover with another cover with the same Gemmenich town-name cancel. It is presumed that both covers were sent by the same person.

Characteristics:
  • Featuring the uninterrupted series up to 2F+2F
  • Registered cover
    (R-slip with general mention "Belgique")
  • Town-name cancel
    (for lack of official cancel or for special effect?)
  • Cancel of arrival in Welkenraedt on reverse side
    and of arrival in Verviers on front side.
  • Attractive, nice calligraphy,
    very clean appearance
Estimated value: $270
