In October 1855, a registered mail article was added to the Prussian Closed Mail agreement. Registered letters had to be fully prepaid, including the 5¢ registration fee in cash. US post offices usually did not use "Registered" markings; the originating post office and the NY exchange office assigned registry numbers. Aachen marked a registered letter with a red "Recomandirt" (Recommandirt- Registered) and the weight in Prussian Loth (1 Loth = 1/2 oz). This letter weighed "4/10" Loth Wùrttemberg and marked "recommand". Est. $500-750 (Image)
