46. Christoph Gärtner Auktion - 26. Feb. 2020 - Germany & PPC

1920, Freimarken "Wappen und Landschaft", sieben verschiedene Werte als vorbereitete Frankatur auf Brief (als Einschreiben deklariert) mit Absendervermerk "Danielsen&Röhl Hadersleben", Leitvermerk "via Kopenhagen mit der Ostasiatischen Kompaniet." und nach Shanghai adressiert. Die Marken wurden einzeln mit Federkreuz entwertet, nebengesetzt "Hadersleben 17/2/20". Der Versuch einer Erklärung: Vermutlich wurde der Brief vom Absender frankiert und er sollte per Post verschickt werden. Auf dem Postamt bemerkte man dann, daß der Brief, so wie er adressiert war, nicht befördert worden konnte; er hätte direkt an die Ostasiatische Kompaniet geschickt werden müssen. Die Marken wurden entwertet und dem Absender das verklebte Porto erstattet. Gebrauchsspuren lassen die Vermutung zu, daß er möglicherweise doch noch via der Ostasiatischen Kompaniet nach China befördert wurde. ÷ 1920, Plebiscite Area "Schleswig" (North Germany/Denmark), franking of seven values prepared on ("registered") cover bearing sender's name "Danielsen&Röhl Hadersleben Nordschleswig", endorsed "via Kopenhagen mit der Ostasiatischen Kompaniet" (via Copenhagen by East-Asian Company) and addressed to Shanghai. Each adhesive cancelled by penstroke and "Hadersleben 17/2/20" alongside. Possible explanation: Presumably the stamps were attached by sender and the letter should have been posted at the post office. There it became obvious that the letter couldn't be shipped - according to the way it was addressed; it should have been sent to Copenhagen directly. The stamps were cancelled and the postage was reimbursed. Signs of postal wear may lead to the assumption that the letter was yet transported to China.
