Mandate mail abroad with pneumatic mail service: 1 MAY 1939 airmail cover from TEL AVIV to DOBRUSKA Czechoslovakia, franked 15m for the period air mail service via Imperial Airlines; backstamped 4 May PRAGUE-7 transit + 4-digit red number on back - the marking of the Prague pneumatic postal service (mail transmitted inside capsule-containers, propelled through tubes by vacuumed air) which serviced this specific #7 station in the city; cut open at right + exhibiting the flattened, wrinkled appearance of mail squashed-folded-bent into the dispatch cartridges. Pneumatic mail (also known as "rohrpost") service required a surcharge when used for the dispatch of mail, but this service was also used (free of charge) for the delivery of mail from abroad; here the destination was 140km outside of Prague. Unusual type of postal service for Mandate mail.
