Lot 00313

1867 double weight EL from Athens to Kithira via Syros. The postal rate for Austrian steam ship was 25l., but the sender, ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΑΣΦΑΛΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΕΤΑΙΡΙΑ Ο ΦΟΙΝΙΞ ΕΝ ΑΘΗΝΑΙΣ, put 20l. blue which cancelled with dott. “1”. The postman understood the mistake and tax the EL with 30l., 10l. orange on blue + 20l. blue and canc. with “ΑΘΗΝΑΙ (1)*18 ΜΑΡΤ. 67”. 50l. was the correct rate for double weight EL. VF. RR. (Hellas 18d+19a)
