    1843: 60r. black on yellowish paper, early impression, showing outer framelines at top and right, cancelled with neat partial strike of c.d.s., (2 Aug), a lovely stamp in all respects. rnThe "Bulls Eye" stamps of Brazil were issued on August 1, 1843. By the same time the following year, plates were showing significant signs of wear; the "Inclinados" issues were also released in July 1844. While it is possible that this early printing was kept and not used until long after purchase, it is also possible that this 2 August usage is, in fact, from the second day of issue.
