@ deCoppet [#33]

Hello deCoppet,

another interesting letter - the sender saved 15 Centimes by giving it to the Swiss post, or more, because it could depend on the weight of the letter.

French letters were 40 Centimes at that time, but only up to 10g.

Swiss letteres to Germany were 25 Centimes / Rappen since 1.9.1868 up to 15g.

So when a letter was over 10g, but less than 15g, he could save up to 55 Centimes, what was quite a lot of money in those times.

To see the reverse side would be interesting too, as it could enter Germany via Bade (Bade was existing until 31.12.1871 in postal matters), or Wurttemberg, or even Bavaria (unlikely here).

Yours,
Ralph
