1) 1890 & 1891....Chuckram One envelopes from Kaduthuruthy (in manuscript on the reverse.. along with despatch date), both addressed to Kottayam.
Kaduthuruthy ..Thi-75 (തി -75)..scarce cancellation.
Despatch cds seal was not available to the Kaduthuruthy anchal office, at that period of time (hence pen written)...though Anchal office was started in M.E. 1064 (1888 a.d.)...and closed in 1070 (1895).
...to be reopened in Kaduthuruthy under Ettumanoor division, as a Village post office in 1080 M E.(1895)...
Later to be promoted as an Anchal office again (Thi-103) in 1909..M.E
1085 (shown in the bottom page).
1085 (shown in the bottom page).
2 Kaduthruthy manuscript cancel with date.
'10-2-66 കടുത്തുരുത്തി'
'16-12-66 കടുത്തുരുത്തി'
2) 1909 a.d. Thi-103 (തി - 103)..Kaduthuruthy to Kaduthuruthy..postage rate is 1/2 ch (1/2 tola) plus registered charge of 3 chuckrams.
So when did Kaduthuruthy Village office became an Anchal office again, after it closed at 1895..is it in the year 1909 (M.E 1085)?
Thi-103 is absolutely rare.
