1765-18233: Two covers bearing pigeon feathers encapsulated within
the wax seals. First item a wrapper sent to Perna, Finland (was
under Swedish rule until 1806 now part of Loviisa, Finland),
addressed "kronorbefallningsmannen" (Crown-order-Man), Noble and
esteemed Mister Elias Malmestedt, who lived in the Manor Tjusterby
(1723-1789), dated 9 August 1765, with manuscript marking of 'three
crowns' with horizontal line indicating 'Crown Mail'. Reverse,
there is a brown pigeon feather within the wax seal, which
symbolised that the letter must "fly" at the highest speed. Second
item a 1833 wrapper sent from Höjentorp to Abrahamstorp near Hjo',
addressed to the district police superintendent 'C. Carlberg', from
Frans Gallander of Stohlan, the 'Kronofogte' (Crown Baliff) at the
tax collector's office, with message: "About artillery horses. Must
be forwarded by riding crown postman under penalty law. Leaving
Stohlan on 1 April 1833 at 1 o'clock in afternoon". Reverse with
red wax seal and white pigeon feather inserted. Under the feather
is a message reads: "Arrived at 12 o'clock noon 2 April and
forwarded at once, Carlberg." Soiling, although most presentable.
Nice combination. Ex. The ‘Izhak Barak’ Collection: The Development
of Aviation and Transportation of Mail by Air until 1914.
