    1858: 108 parale blue on rose horizontally laid paper, ample to large margins all round, tied by "MICHALENI 8/9 MOLDOVA" cds in blue (Kiriac M1 fig. 280) to piece, reverse with "JASSY 10/9 MOLDOVA" in red. The stamp is backed to repair a thin on reverse, but an extremely rare, maybe unique use of the first Bull's Head stamps in Michaleni. This stamp is shown and discussed in Heimbüchler III, p. 53 being part of a damaged cover, which was obviously reduced to a piece. At the time of publishing his handbook Rumania (1994), Fritz Heimbüchler reported that two stamps Michaleni datestamps described by Poncelet in1933 have not been traced so far. In part III of his handbook (2007) Heimbüchler mentioned and illustraded this 108 p. from the Bela Sekula Auction (1927) and stated: 'In spite of the 70 years that have passed, it seems likely that the Michaleni postmarked copies will again surface.' A sensational re-discovery for Romanian Philately. Signed Schlesinger and Kosack; cert. Heimbüchler (2016) Mi = € 15'000 for a detached stamp.

    Provenance: Bela Sekula Auction (October 1927) on entire letter.
