Looks like a Romania Scott# 217. At first I thought the stamp on the right might just be faded, but also noticed the paper looks like a different color (straw?). I only have a Scott catalog and there's no mention of anything.

Any thoughts?

Rene.
You know, I cannot recall where I bought my copy, it certainly was cheaper than the ebay advert here.

I had trouble finding my copy.
I think I just typed in "Cartalogul Marcilor postale Romanesti" and hunted down copies.
Took me a few months.

Sorry, can't offer anything better.

There is one here $15 US ??
You have to take a leap of faith sometimes, buying other than ebay.
That is extraordinarily cheap
