    Austrian Shipmail, Port Markings for Ship letters, Adriatic Sea 1871 (April 28): Entire letter from Sebenico to Vienna, bearing stationery envelope cutout 1867 coarse whiskers 5 kr. red with imitated perforation, tied by perfect two-line "SEBENICO / COL VAPORE" handstamp in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 21 / Klein 7950a = 100 points). Reverse with Zara transit and Wien arrival cds (April 27). A very rare usage of the cutout with this crisp cancellation on attractive cover to a Vienna musical instrument company. Cert. Ferchenbauer (1989) Ferchenbauer = € 2'000.rnNote: The usage of stationery cutouts was already forbidden since 1861, a regulation which was affirmed in 1866. Thus, cutouts from the 1867 issues are difficult to find. Such a usage with faked perforation to delude the postal authorities which made its way to the receiver without being taxed is an exceptional item.rnThe 'Gebrüder Placht' company was one of the great manufacturers of musical instruments in Vienna, the center of this craft in Austria with more than one hundred companies in the city.
