The Netherlands
Short Paid Aerogramme
This aerogramme (Greiner no. 21) was sent from AMSTERDAM (slogan
cancel 23.11.76) to Haifa, Israel.
The aerogramme rate to Israel in November
1976 was 75 c. Hence, the aerogramme was short paid 15 c.
According to the rules
established by the 1974 UPU Congress, underpaid items "... shall be
marked with the T stamp (postage due) in the middle of the upper part of the
front: beside the impression of this stamp the administration of origin shall
write very legibly in the currency of its country the amount of the
underpayment, and under a fraction line, that of its charge valid for the first
weight step for letters dispatched by surface mail" (Article 135, 1).
The postal clerk in the
Netherlands used a fixed 15/75 T stamp.
On arrival in Israel, a
boxed h/s was applied. The h/s text in Hebrew letters reads "Removed from .. (???) .. for collecting the missing postage".
