    1850: Carta a mano 15 c. 'rosso vermiglio chiaro' type I with fresh colour and good to huge margins all round, tied by very rare "Colico 23 GIU." two line datestamp in black (Sassone CO 11 punti = € 4'500) to entire letter directed to Castello-Valsolda. Reverse with Varenna (June 24) and Porlezza (June 25) transit cds's. The entire is undated, but the Varenna datestamp is known to be used not later than April 1851. Thus this cover was used in June 1850, in the first month of the Lombardo-Veneto definitives. An interesting usage from a rare office, cert. Caffaz (1998)  Sassone = € 180 + 825 + 4'500.
