1947 Palestine Airgraph 25 Mils on British Mandate Salary Document Jaffa For Sale

1947 British Mandate Palestine Salary Revision Document on Unused 25 Mils Airgraph Form – Dual-Sided Official & Postal History Piece

Original March 18, 1947 British Mandate Palestine government document, typed and signed by the Chief Accountant, concerning a Revision of Salary Scales under Chief Secretary’s Circular No. 19/46.

Issued to Miss Ruth Michaelis, Jaffa, and detailing salary adjustments in Palestine Pounds (£P) and Mils, including handwritten accounting calculations and official totals.

What makes this piece especially interesting:

The document is typed on the reverse of an unused Palestine Airgraph Service form (25 Mils) — complete with decorative New Year greeting border and “Postage Paid” marking.

This creates a rare dual-format historical artifact combining:

• British Mandate administrative finance record

• Palestine Airgraph postal stationery (unused front)

• 25 Mils denomination

• Pre-State of Israel (1947, final Mandate year)

• Official accounting signature

• Palestine Pound currency documentation

• Jaffa address reference

Airgraph forms were used during WWII and the Mandate period for microfilmed overseas mail. The reuse of the sheet reflects documented paper shortages and wartime austerity practices in Palestine.

A highly collectible crossover item appealing to:

✔ Palestine Mandate collectors

✔ Holy Land postal history specialists

✔ British colonial administration historians

✔ Pre-1948 Israel ephemera collectors

✔ Currency & financial document collectors

Condition:

Original 1947 document with age toning, filing hole, light wear consistent with period use. Airgraph front unused. Clear typing and manuscript entries.
