    1893 (Aug 26): Large linnen registered envelope from Torino to New York, bearing 1891/96 Umberto 5 l. carmine & blue in mixed franking with four examples of 1879 Umberto 25 c. blue, tied by indistinct "TORINO (RACCOM.)" cds in black, registration handstamp alongside.The leftmost 25 c. adhesive slightly rubbed in the upper part, not distracting at all from this enormous and rare franking, as the usage of the 5 l. definitive is very rare on complete covers, the majority are cover fronts. Cert. Zanaria (1999) Sassone = € 40'000.rnNote: The franking of 600 centesimi suggest an envelope of the 23th weight rate between 330-345 gram with 25 centesimi postage for each 15 gram or parts thereof and an additional registration fee of 25 centesimi.
