A post card to Riga, Latvia in 1941.

Surface rates from U.S. possessions and territories were the same as those from the mainland during the Prexie period. This post card was sent from Pago Pago, Samoa to Germany in August of 1941.

Non-illustrated post cards could be sent to certain post codes in France as early as September 4, 1944, but not yet to Paris. The sender of this card probably did not know which codes were used where, so sent this card too early.

This post card sent to Germany in 1946 was returned, as picture post cards were not allowed per a regulation dated April 2 of that year.

A post card sent to Palestine in April of 1948, and returned as undeliverable due to unrest in the area caused by establishment of the State of Israel. Mail service was interrupted from April to July, and delivery of the card was apparently tried again in August, with an appropriate change in the name of the destination country.
