Lot 40978 – Hohe Rinne (Păltiniș) Hotel Post in Austria-Hungary (now Romania)

1906 Picture postcard showing the cabins of the resort, sent on 15 July 1906 from Hohe Rinne via Keresztnysziget (Cristian) to Brasso (now Brașov), arriving 17 July. Franked with a perforated 1903 2 heller black-on-pink Hotel Post stamp (4th Issue), in combination with a 5 filler Hungarian Turul definitive. The Hotel Post stamp paid for private transport from the mountain resort to the nearest state post office at Keresztnysziget/Cristian, while the Turul stamp covered the state postal service. A fine and scarce mixed franking from this early Carpathian resort. Ref. Austria-Hungary, Romania
