MICHEL P142
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
80Pf + 5Pf
Issued 1921 and features an 80Pf pre-printed stamp with a postal rider approaching a city. As with the other cards P140 and P141, this postcard also has a 5Pf surcharge. However the surcharge is now shown as a "Papierpreiszuschlag 5 Pf" inscription in the centre of the lower border, rather than below the pre-printed stamp as above.
The card exists in two different formats:
P142-I that has four straight edges
P142-II which has a serrated edge.
P142-I
P142-I has four straight edges. This example from my collection was posted in AACHEN on the 31st of Dec 1921 and was destined for Delafield, Wisconsin, USA.
