274th - 283th Corinphila Auction - Day 4

1882: 15 st. purple and pale mauve (2) and 10 st. rose and pale rose in vertical pair on registered 1885 cover from Plovdiv to Vienna. The franking is placed on the reverse of the cover, cancelled by three strikes of the double circle Plovdiv cds (Oct 24). Unusually both types of the GABROVO handstamp can be found of this cover, which is a fine example of the 50 st. foreign registered rate. Opinions Todd AIEP (2014) and Penev (2021).
