Group of 58 Admiral Picture Postcards Mailed During the 1921-1925 6c Postcard Rate Era, but these 58 cards are franked with anything but the 6c rate. Most were the acceptable 2c “printed matter” rate for messages sent with up to 5 words, but many were underpayments (and in a few cases – overpayments) possibly due to confusion about the rates. Frankings range from 1c to 10c, with a wide range of stamp used to make up various combinations. Most are used to Central Europe (and some slightly out of the way destinations like Norway), but also noted Uruguay, Chile, Egypt, Algeria. Great rate study group, especially for those who like postage due items that were not caught. Some faults, else overall fine. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (All Scans)
