Sweden. Utlandsanknytning. Netherlands. Interesting cover with notation "franco Helsingör", sent to Hauge. Dated by pencil "1686", and with charter no. "1", and accountancy note "VII" in red chalk. The other recorded covers from the 17th century to the Netherkands have all postmarks (which were introduced in 1686), wherefore this cover probably is the earliest recorded mail sent to this destination. EXHIBITION ITEM.
