    Bucharest 1867: 15 s. brown, a used example on 1869 single rate cover to Wattwyl, St. Gallen, Switzerland, tied by "BUCAREST" circular datestamp (Feb 22) in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 714). Reverse with Vienna cds (Feb 26), St. Gallen cds (Feb 27) and Wattwyl arrival cds all in black; manuscript '4' Rheinish krajcar in red crayon. A rare cover - the rate to Switzerland had been reduced to 15 soldi on 1 September 1868. Slight peripheral aging reduced but a scarce and attractive cover.
