From Cyprus




This aerogramme was sent from Limassol ,Cyprus to Kolkata on 26th May 1965.
The aerogramme contains a request from M/s Michaelides in Limassol for getting some samples of Galvanised Hex. Bolts and Nuts from M/s Shree Krishna P.L.

It arrived in Calcutta on 1st May 1965.

Today in the year 2011 when all the correspondence happen through emails specially business' this aergramme is an example of the time when life moved bit slower than what it is today,50 years later.



I acquired this cover from a dealer and charged nothing for it.He said he was about to throw it away.I liked the cover the moment I put my eyes on it though it was folded and wrinkled at many places.




I tried enquiring about the stamps but couldn't find anything.Can any one help me on this???
