Verviers local in 1919



This cover was sent from Verviers on 13 May 1919 with insufficient postage. It was then stamped with a big black T and affixed with 80c of postage due. These postage-due stamps are those with the town name printed across (more valuable!).
See nearly identical cover.

Characteristics:
  • Red Cross 1c+1c and pair of 2c+2c, plus postage-due stamps Scott J15 and J16
  • Total franking = 5c
  • T mark, smudged
  • No cancel of arrival (?)
Estimated value: $265
Value attributed chiefly to the postage-due stamps
