Hello collector friends,
Here is an 1861 letter from Basel to Wurttemberg. Two 15 rappen Strubels pay the 30 rp rate. One rayon in Switzerland and two rayons in DOPV.
Would it be correct to say, based on the markings shown here, that this must have gone via internal Swiss rail to Constanz and entered Wurttemberg after crossing the lake to Friedrichschafen?
In post #160, I showed an item that went via the Baden railway just north of the Swiss border from Basel, so a Baden marking indicating the 6 kreuzer was passed to Baden. The only additional markings on this one is a Wurttemberg Bahnpost marking and the receiver at Cannstatt. That is why I think Wurttemberg gets the 6 kreuzer.
Is my logic correct here?
Also, it looks to me like this was sent to a smaller town near Cannstatt (Kannstadt). Can someone help me figure out where? Or am I incorrect?
Best,
Rob
