1903/04 FOUR CASH CARDS ...RV PORTRAIT WITH RED BACKGROUND.


Scarce 1903/'04 post cards of Maharaja Rama Varma of Travancore, with the single line heading...survived for a very short gestation period of hardly 4 months.
1) Wrongly posted in the wrong postbox (British) from Ambalapuzha (postage due of 1/2 anna....horse shoe cancel) to Kottayam.
2) Posted to USA by affixing One Anna K.E. stamp from Chethipuzha Changnacherry. As the card is used to be send outside state, it should be affixed with the requiste 'One Anna' British India stamp. Travancore stationary had no legal tender, if used for, to be posted outside the state, other than Cochin.
3) Posted from Ettumanoor to Alleppey..please note the Alleppey delivery time cancel 'Morning 8:30'..'Pa' for Pakal.
4) Posted from Changnacherry to Varapuzha
