Russia Used in Finland: Facit #R18 on Facit #RP9 Russian postal card [1909 1 kopek orange with Varnish Pattern; 1909 3 kopek postal card] Used VF on 19 August 1912 from "UUSIKIRKKO Wp L" to Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. The 1 kopek stamp uprates the card from the domestic rate to the foreign rate. This is a KARELIAN LOST TERRITORIES small town now in Russia as Polyany. Wikipedia: The Finnish name means New Church (Lake). Mikael Agricola [Scott #276-7, #668, #1286, and #B13] died there on return from the negotiations for the Treaty of Novgorod. A very attractive commercial use that is much less common than the modest catalog value of the card would suggest. ACTUAL item. |
