    1856 (Jan 13): Entire letter from Sulina to Galatz, struck withoval framed AGENZIA DEL LLOYD AUSTRIACO / SULINA in green, somewhat obscured but unrecorded by Blistyar and Tchilinghirian, with arrival docketing inside of the following day. Despite the blurred appearance, a great rarity, it is believed that only one other cover (not actually seen by this describer) exists with this fore-runner cancellation - the Consular Post Office at Sulina only opened in 1858. A Lloyd Austriaco rarity.

    Provenance: Collections Brandt, Garmiryan and Arsman.
    Starting bid : 2,000 CHF
    Hammer price : not sold
