    1866: 5 p. pale red brown on grey lilac laid paper, couple of pulled roulettes (typical of the later printings), used in first month of UPU rate on 8 p. green on yellow postal stationery card to Björneborg, Sweden cancelled by "Äbo" datestamp (July 27) in blue. An attractive usage: as the 2 p. stamp was not issued until September 1875, the 5 p. was utilised to overpay the 10 p. rate. Provenance: Collection Nyman, lot 20261.
