Spa local in 1919



This cover was sent on 2 September 1919 from Spa to Spa with insufficient franking (5c instead of 10c) and was subsequently taxed with 10c. The postage-due stamp is one with the town name printed on it (more valuable!).
See another cover sent from Spa on the same day and also with insufficient postage.

Characteristics:
  • 5c+5c single and 10c postage-due stamp Scott J13
  • Franking of 5c instead of 10c
  • No cancel of arrival
  • Remain of sticking label on back
Estimated value: $94
Value attributed chiefly to the postage-due stamp
