| 328 | Adi Caie to Italy, posted 2 MAR 1909. Piacenza rec'd on reverse. Indicia of the Italian Mission in Ethiopia (Wollo Galla) on reverse. It is very likely that this item originated in Ethiopia and was carried to Eritrea to be mailed, in which case it would be a very scarce example of mail from Ethiopia, which went out through the northern route, rather than through Djibouti.

| 332 | Asmara to Italy, posted on 16 March 1917 without stamps. "T" postage due handstamp in clack. A 20 centimes Italian postage due was applied and is tied by a Piacenza postmark. Similar "T" markings were used in both Italy and Eritrea during this timeframe, according to Leahy. The application of the postage due in Piacenza is unusual, as postage dues were normally applied at the point of mailing, rather than the point of reception. This is particularly odd because Eritrean postage dues existed at this time and should have been available in the Asmara post office. Couple of opening tears, rather inconsequential, considering the scarcity of this usage. Est $150 Bid Now Photo |
