Heverle local in 1919



This cover was sent from Heverle to Heverle-lez-Louvain some time in 1919. The smudged cancels most likely reveal the use of a fortune cancel and thus indicate a date in early 1919, which is confirmed by the arrival cancel on the back.

Characteristics:
  • Five 2c+2c split in a strip of three and a pair
  • Total franking = 10c (exact franking)
  • Fortune cancel (most likely)
  • Cancel of arrival on reverse side
Estimated value: $67
