    1859 (Sept): 2 baj. 'giallo arancio', the upper right part of a diagonally bisected adhesive, a fresh and fine example with good colour and large margins, tied by mute grill obliterator to reverse of cover within Faenza. Pontifical-style "FAENZA 9 DEC. 59" despatch cds on obverse. In November 1859 the local rate was increased from 1 bajoccho to 2 bajocchi / 10 centesimi, a rate change which was not followed in this case, the cover was therefore taxed with '5' centesimi. Some filing folds not distracting from this interesting item. Signed Grioni; cert. E. Diena (1983) Sassone = € 12'500.
