1913 REGISTERED POSTAL STATIONERY ENVELOPES
On May 1, 1913, the Hungarian post office issued two postal stationery envelopes with indicia corresponding to the rates for Registered Local (16f) and Inland (35f) Letters.
A 16f registered postal stationery envelope sent from Budapest 8 to Prague on February 1, 1919 uprated with 29f in stamps to pay the then current Registered Inland Letter rate of 45f.
A 35f registered postal stationery envelope sent from Szabadka 2 to Zavidovici in Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 12, 1914; 35f paid the then current Registered Inland Letter rate.
