This cover is a letter with four 6pf stamps (SG497) and another one cut from some item of postal stationery, which is boxed in blue crayon as invalid; so there is a large blue '8' on the cover. It is addressed to ASSEL, a suburb of Hamburg. The cancel is the later type HAMBURG 1 / 15.12.36 19.20 / Straßenbahn. The cover also has a cachet, large and bold (69 x 13 mm), in black ink and plain type, with the ß replaced by plain letters ss and Strassenbahnbriefkasten all one word.
