39. Auction - 19 Feb. 2018 - Philately: Asia incl. Malaya Special

1883/88, UPU Koban 2 S. (3) and New Koban 10 S. (4) tied four strikes of "Yokohama/fusuko" (insufficiently prepaid) to "Yokohama Posts&Telegraphs Office" postal affairs envelope with japanese text line "German Warship / Kaiser". No datestamps. Cert. Eichhorn BPP (2017) who suggests this to be a form (not an actual letter), a part of a collective mail including several underpaid mails (probably from overseas) addressed to the ship, with a total charge to be due of 46 Sen. SMS Kaiser (II) stays at Yokohama are recoreded for 1895/99 only which gives an approx. dating of this item. First time we have seen such a usage, very unusual.
