AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful international registered letter from 1904, sent from Tokyo (Japan) to New York (USA) during the Meiji period, franked with three dark blue 10 sen stamps, Scott catalog 103, issued with the imperial chrysanthemum.
The envelope comes from the prestigious Japanese trading company Tsuji & Co., active in Tokyo, Yokohama, and the United States. The company's commercial correspondence is highly sought after in transpacific postal history.
A highly valuable element is the original recommendation tag from Tokyo, with number B117, perfectly preserved: a detail that certifies the special handling of the shipment and increases its collectible value.
