Hello Kevin, Your tübli is a very nice clean example of the letter rate. I find tübli interesting because it means the sender of the envelopes available, but need to use stamps to create payment for a new different purpose. Keep you eyes out, sometimes they are less expensive because they look worse, but as you see, sometimes they can be rare. I did not know my RL were double rate until Ralph explained them, nor did I know the scarcity.

I'm sorry I do not communicate well in French, though I did learn some basics many, many years ago in school. I can not read or write German, but I do understand many German philatelic terms. Google translations are sometimes very good, but Google does not know philatelic terms. So, between Google and myself, I understand most German writing.Talking in incomprehensible in French and German. Sorry.

Here is a straight forward folded letter Zürich 14 February 1865 to Auerbach, Saxony, [ausgabe 16 II]. There are two transit marks on the back, the Schweiz unber baden oval, and CH Bad Bahnpost 15 Feb 65 Z12. I think the rate is from Switzerland 1 to Rayon over 20 meilen = 40 centimes.
