'UNCLAIMED'..in rectangular black boxed postmark...applied by the delivery post office, when a registered letter is undelivered after several futile attempts by the postman, to find the addresee, to get it delivered.
At times, the addresee will unclaim it, fearing it might be an Injuction order / Intaas from the court.
Most of these 'UNCLAIMED' markings are seen on the registered articles from the Judicial Court.
Several reasons will be written by the postman on the cover for non-delivery...not found, death of the addresee, out of town, reluctant to take delivery etc etc.
This marking is uncatalogued in Dr Mooss's book on Travancore. Here we find 4 different types..differences in the size of box & lettering.
