Description: 1964 incoming French taxed mail: 6 Jan 1964 postmarked surface mailed cover on imprinted business postal stationary, sent from VICHY to guest at Dan Hotel in TEL AVIV & franked 0.25Fr, tied by machine slogan cancel - but under-paid & marked for tax (in manuscript) by the French post office, charging the cover 30 gold centimes for twice the deficient postage. In Israel the post office converted the gold centimes fee per the period exchange rate of 1 agora : 1g ctm, reflecting the 1962 devaluation of the Israeli currency to 3IL : 1USD, and charged the cover 30 agorot, levied on 3 Feb using 0.30L 1962 overprinted Zodiac stamp (Ba #238), tied by a strike of the TEL AVIV-6 (head post office) postmark; backstamped next day TEL AVIV-87 (Nordau Street branch post office, which serviced the hotel) transit-arrival; the address was subsequently revised to the hotel's post office box 3219 where taxed mail of this kind was accumulated - a proving mark as "POB" was usually not written next to that number; opened gently at back. Residue from an adhesive on the front is likely from the notice for the addressee to come & pay for the letter - removed once paid. --- Most of our merchandise ships out from Israel | orders are combined | additional items are charged 75c: DOMESTIC services available are Registered mail (default) and courier mail.
