    1877 (Aug 8): Envelope from Verona to Peschiera, bearing 1866 Torino printing 10 c. yellow-ochre in mixed franking with 1877 (Aug) 10 c. blue, tied by '197' numeral obliterator 'a sbarre' with matching clear VERONA cds in black alongside. Reverse with arrival cds of the next day. Roughly opened on top, a most interesting usage which was only possible in August 1877, when the 10 centisimi blue replaced the 10 c. yellow-ochre which was valid until the end of the month, a 'gemelli' franking of the same denomination but with differents colours. Certs. Sorani (1996), Bottacchi (2001).
