Auction 265th - 273rd - Day 4

Danube Steam Navigation Co in the Dobrudja: Company envelope of the DDSG, presumably of the agency in Tulcea and directed to the main administration of the DDSG in Vienna, bearing Romania 1900 King Carol 25 b. blue (Mi 138), tied by "TULCEA - GALATI 15 NOV 1904" figurative datestamp with steamer in black (Kiriac NFR 17), reverse with Ship Sailing Number handstamp "DRAU / 119" in black (Tchilinghirian unlisted) and Vienna distribution cds (Nov 24). Also matching envelope with "SULINA - TULCEA" figurative datestamp and in addition an indistinct usage of "TULCEA - SULINA" figurative datestamp. An interesting trio with the figurative datestamps as always in imperfect condition.rnNote: The Romanian shipping company 'Navigatia Fluviala Romana' (NFR) served since 1897 on the lower Danube. The first cover was given against the regulations in Galati directly from the NFR vessel to the DDSG steamer 'Drau' and transported along the Danube to Vienna.
