On the postcard it says dear family Have a very good Christmas and a good new year(Rough translation).

wow nice indian cover.

the cover was used soon after india moved to the decimal system. I t has the 4th series definitive that was issued in 68. though the Devanagari script is not very clear it looks like an invitation for a prayer to the goddess of wealth.

Here are a few German stamps from the 20's,They were posted to a bank in Berlin also a revenue (on a American Express cheque) from one of the eastern block countries I think.









there are six or seven of these bank cover with different franking on them,these are just a sample.
