Pneumatic mail

Pneumatic mail was a premium intracity service available in some large cities.

Paris, Prague, Berlin (1865-1945 for mail), Munich/München, Milan, Rome, Naples/Napoli and Vienna/Wien were among the cities that had this service. France and Germany issued special postal stationery, Italy issued special stamps, although regular mail with sufficient postage and marked or labeled was also sent. The pneumatic systems were also used to deliver telegrams.
