1932, April 26
from Manaparai (British Post) to Ettumanoor (British Post..27 April) & then transferred to Travancore Ettumanoor post office (16 Medam 107...27 April 1932) with postage due (Kuli... കൂലി)...and delivered on the same day to the destination...Kidangoor (കിടങ്ങൂർ...'ർ' is missing)...Malayalam...single line circular cancel.
Scarce usage, for these are hard to find..British India & Travancore cancellation in one cover. Postage Due (Kuli) 'probably' be 1 1/2 Chuckram (24 cash..double the deficiency of 3/4 ch (12 cash).
There was no mention of rate of postage due, in the rectangular slab.
In 1932, there was a change,after 12 years, from 10 cash to 12 cash for normal postage.
