47 Dark Brown [1886 30 öre Ringtype with Posthorn on Back] (VF) on totally complete 21 December 1888 Swedish money order (postanvisning) form from "GÖTEBORG-FILIAL" to LIDKÖPING (on reverse). Form #11, print date January 1888, on laid paper (unusual!). This is an "AMERICAN MONEY" form (see information on reverse of form) in the amount of 75 kroner. The Swedes that had come to America were often "rich" compared to the folks back home and as a result there as a large amount of money sent back home via ship line agents who then used the Swedish postal system to deliver payments to the final destination. This form tells part of the story of Swedish migration to America. |
