Description
August 4, 1913. A parcel dispatch from Helsingfors (Helsinki) to Switzerland, cancelled with a bilingual Finnish-Russian postmark. The shipment passed in transit through Kibarty (Kybartai), Russia, on July 25, 1913 (the date difference is due to the Julian and Gregorian calendars; see the bottom postmark). It then continued to Switzerland, where a receiving stamp dated August 7, 1913, was applied on the reverse. The green stamp indicates a customs inspection ("ZOLLFREI" — duty-free). The parcel weighed 850 g and was franked with 90 kopecks in stamps, including a 10-kopeck insurance fee. The tariff applied corresponded to the 1–3 kg weight category.
