Item description
Original Czechoslovak postal stationery postcard mailed from Komárno to New York City, apparently dating from 1938, with a full handwritten message in Hungarian.
The card bears a green 50-haler printed indicium together with additional Czechoslovak 20h, 30h and 50h stamps. It was marked with a large “T” postage-due indicator and a blue handwritten “10c” notation. A United States 2¢ Postage Due stamp was later applied and canceled in New York.
An attractive mixed-country postal-history piece featuring Czechoslovak franking, Hungarian-language correspondence, Komárno cancellations and United States postage-due usage. The date is especially interesting because Komárno was transferred from Czechoslovakia to Hungary later in 1938.
Condition: Antique used condition with overall toning, staining and discoloration around several stamps, heavy postal cancellations, surface marks, edge and corner wear, and a small notch or tear along the top edge. All visible stamps remain attached. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition, postmarks, handwriting and identification. Sold as pictured.
