Very rare “ilpakke” (Urgent parcel) sent to Italy on 22/Feb/1935 at 13:55. Rate for parcels 5-10 kg. to Italy 660 øre. There was a surcharge of 100% on urgent parcels, but the sending post office (Copenhagen N. 1) originally forgot to add the surcharge. The mistake was discovered by another post office (Copenhagen Omk. 14). The regulations stipulated that any post office discovering a mis-rated should uprate the cover to the needed postage and charge the cost of the stamps to the sending post office. In this case, Copenhagen Omk. 14 added an additional 660 øre to the parcel card. Therefore the lower 660 øre are cancelled 22/Feb/1935 at 16:40 (almost three hours after the first 660 øre were cancelled). The 5 kr violet steel engraved is scarce on cover and parcels showing that the post offices had to pay for their own mistakes are very rare!
Meget spændende adressebrev for en ilpakke sendt til Italien 22/Feb/1935 at 13:55 frankeret med 660 øre inkl. 5 kr stålstik violet (et godt mærke på forsendelse). Taksten var 660 øre for 5-10 kg. pakker til Italien. Ilpakker kostede dog det dobbelte af almindelige pakker, og de manglende 660 øre har posthuset, der havde modtaget pakken, selv måtte påsætte (næsten tre timer efter de øvrige mærker blev stemplede) og betale, da posthusene var ansvarlige for deres fejl. Et meget spændende og sjældent adressekort med bogtryk og stålstik 5 kr. Chr. X på samme forsendelse.
