The recipient receives a form for the purchase of butter at 16.50F/kg normally franked at 0.15F with a Sower (Decree of 05.08.1926). The answer on the same form on the back is franked at the rate of the letter of less than 20g: 0.50C. Such a document is not common!

Oh tempo, oh mores!

Small discussion on the price of the stamp and the price of butter.

In 2020 the price of butter is around 6€/kg which corresponds to around 8.5F/kg in 1933. The price of butter has therefore been halved!

The price of the priority letter at the first level in 2020 is  â‚¬1.05 i.e. 1.50F in 1933.           _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  

The price of the letter has been multiplied by three!

The student sends the letter containing his assignments with first postage on 23-2-1935. School returns corrected assignments with second grade postage on 23-3-1935 'The extra weight is presumably due to the addition of school explanatory material.
