From Bruxelles to Louvain in 1920



This cover was sent from Brussels at an unknown date and arrived at its destination in Leuven on 14 August 1920, just one day before the stamps went out of circulation.

Characteristics:
  • Featuring the 10c+10c and 15c+15c stamps, each in pair
  • Total franking = 50c (exact postage?)
  • Express mail? (unofficial handwritten note in bottom left corner)
  • Illegible cancel of departure
  • Distinct cancel of arrival on reverse
  • Poor appearance: faded paper, stain mark on right, brittle paper, and a tear
  • The ugly duckling of the group!
Estimated value: $15
