Corinphila Auction 284-290 Day 5

Fiscal stamps used as definitives / Marche da bollo usate per posta 1854: 30 c. green & black with the value in typography, a fine and fresh adhesive with good perforation, tied by lightly oily "CADORE 31 OTT." two line datestamp (Sassone BL = 6 punti) to 1856 (?) cover, directed to Venezia, reverse with arrival cds (Nov. 2). Very attractive usage, the datestamp leaving the tableau untouched, a rare franking with fiscal stamps instead of postal definitives to pay the 30 c. rate in the second rayon. Sassone = € 1'100 + 480.rnNote: Until July 1857 the use of fiscal stamps to pay the postage was tolerated in Austria and Lombardo-Veneto.
