This cover has a 500 mark stamp (SG240) cancelled HAMBURG / 1 / -4.4.23. 8.40 V / EILBRIEFE. [V stands for 'vormittags', ie a.m.] It was sent to The Hague in Holland. On the rear is an arrival cachet A781 in a rectangular box with rounded corners, struck so hard that there is a faint reverse imprint on the front. The tram box cachet is small and neat (43 x 10 mm overall), in purplish ink, in gothic type with an extremely decorative ß and a = between the Straßenbahn and the Briefkasten.
