Veisiejai 1936



This is a registered cover sent in 1936 from Veisiejai to Alytus. Like the cover of Veisiejai during the German occupation I have posted before in this blog, the postmark is "Veisejai" instead of Veisiejai, but the registration label has a correct modern spelling. Nice arrival cancellation of Alytus can be seen on the back of the cover, as well as the old spelling "Veisėjai" written by the sender. Veisiejai (Wiejsieje in polish) is known to be the place where the Esperanto language has been given birth by a Białystok/Balstogė ophthalmologist Zamenhof while he worked here.

Veisiejai 1942



A rather rare cover from neither Feldpost nor Dienspost Ostland but from a local post office in Veisejai, spelled Veisiejai in the modern Lithuania, sent to Kaunas in 1942. Local offices during the WW2 German occupation often used old cancellations from the time of the First Republic and often not cencored. They were used mainly within Lithuania, sometime to other occupied lands inside Ostland.
Acquired in 2004 in Kaunas, Lithuania.
