    New Stones 50 bani pale blue & red, a very fine example with large margins on three sides and shaved but not touched at right (the stamp showing the marginal separation lines at base and vertically at left), used on 1872 cover to Venice tied by "Bucuresci" datestamp (30/9) in black. Repeated strike of the datestamp at top and framed P.D. in black at right. File fold below the adhesive, and reverse with Venice (Oct 5) arrival datestamp. An exceedingly rare cover with the adhesive in use for just 2½ months, with just 8 letters bearing this stamp recorded in the Heimbüchler census and perhaps just 10 all told. Illustrated in Handbook II on page 307 and Edition D'Or vol XII on page 145. Certificate Heimbüchler (2010).
