    1867 (23.Mar.): 20c. on 15c. blue "FERRO DI CAVALLO" type I, ten examples including a vertical strip of eight on cleaned letter from VENICE to ROVIGO.

The letter is not entirely complete with a missing flap, some stamps with minor imperfections. Nonetheless an eyecatcher. Certificates E. Diena (1987) and Colla (1997).
