TUBE POST 
(PNEUMATIC POST)

Tube or pneumatic post is the service of correspondence transportation and small parcels in capsules that drive into tubes, by the help of compressed air. This method was used by many countries and was interrupted the late years. The disposed philatelic material include special postmarks, postal stationery of pneumatic post (postcards and covers), while Italy is the only country that issued special stamps.
