Antonín Špáta – Hronov: Sport and Photo Equipment Trade in WWII Era

Although we do not have detailed information about the Antonín Špáta, Hronov company, the text on the envelope indicates that the firm was involved in the sale of sporting goods ("Sportovní potřeby") and photographic equipment ("Fotopotřeby"). Additionally, it is noted that the company also engaged in the paper trade ("Obchod papírem"). The envelope features two postage stamps, one of which belongs to the era of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1938-1945). The design and value of the stamps reflect the use of both German and Czech languages during the Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. The postmark indicates "Hronov" as the city and bears the date December 23, 1942.
