Romania/Romana

Hi Art,
some lovely bits there, a few I have never encountered.
I'll be back with information later
Here are the easy ones........

1. Aviation Fund (Possibly not listed in Scott)

For the Taxation of Perfume, Luxury Toilets, Drugs and Medicine.

There are quite a few in this category
As your set (1936)
There are two groups
issued at different times with different colours

Yours belongs to the second set of 3
10 bani Orange

2. 14Lei60 1972 Scott C193 Otopeni Airport
3. 10 bani 1967 scott1968 communications emblem
4. 40 bani porto=postage due scott J136 1974 pigeons and hermes
5.
6.
7.
8. 40bani 1967 Constantin Brancusi sculptor "The Kiss"
Scott 1916

The three pieces of mutilated stationery
may take some time.
Often, they are not able to be identified exactly
because the identifiable marks include the stamp image
AND coat of arms to the left of the piece, or image
in the case of postcards
(each image was matched to a particular vignette on the card)

The best description may be simple such as "postcard" and rough date
or "pre printed cover" and appox date etc.


Number 7
Possibly:
1894
CP37a 10 Bani Postcard UPU,
red numeral in oval on cream carton paper.

Thanks, Rod.
On no.4, I expected that when the series changed, a new illustration would appear in Scott's.

Here's one I overlooked. Should be in 'Postage Due' but I don't find it.

"catalogue blindness" strikes us all, Art :)

I am very pleased you posted because I like stuff that I cannot ID
and the yacht and the emblem pieces are challenging.

The emblem must date to 1948 onwards due to the "Romina"
inscription.
The sailing vignette I have seen before, but cannot locate it anywhere.

I'll post when I solve them.

The Romanian Revolution was a series of riots and protests in Romania in December 1989. These were part of
the Revolutions of 1989 that occurred in several Warsaw Pact countries. The Romanian Revolution started in
the city of Timisoara and soon spread throughout the country, becoming the only one of these revolutions that
forcibly overthrew a Communist government and executed the country's head of state.

The Revolution marked the end of the Communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu. Street protests and violence in
several Romanian cities over the course of roughly a week led the Romanian dictator to abandon power and flee
Bucharest with his wife, Deputy Prime Minister Elena Ceausescu. Captured in Târgoviste, they were tried in a
show trial by a military tribunal on charges of genocide, damage to the national economy and abuse of power to
execute military actions against the Romanian people. They were found guilty of all charges, and immediately
executed on 25 December 1989.

The Romanian Revolution caused 1,104 deaths, 162 of these occurring in the protests that took place from 16 to
22 December 1989 and brought an end to the Ceausescu regime and the remaining 942 in the riots before the
seizure of power by a new political structure, the National Salvation Front. Most deaths occurred in cities such
as Timisoara, Bucharest, Sibiu and Arad. The number of injured reached 3,352, of which 1,107 are for the
period in which Ceausescu still held power, and the remaining 2,245 are for the period after the seizure of
power by the National Salvation Front.

Rod222:
Thanks for all your help and your continuing pursuits on these unresolved issues.

Re the last item, it wasn't 'Catalog Blindness.' but a peculiarity in the Scott's Cataloguing, in trying to resolve the ID. In this listing, Scott's fell short, combining three issues into one. In reconciling an issue, I look for consistency in the fonts, overall design, etc.

Thanks again
Art
Re the 1990 issue, I have a good collection of Romania, but most are earlier issues.

You're welcome Art. :)
Collecting what others do not generally,
can be a lonely field :)

It's nice to have contributions,
especially with material not seen before :)

Londonbus1.....don't waste a paramount on this Bus !

Wow!
where do you get this stuff? :)

Never spied those before.
There are some good fakes getting around on that issue,
(the first example shown)
Almosy undetectable apart from the tilt of the man's head.

What is a "Paramount" ?

I guess "Paramount" will have been a brand of stamp mount or hinge.
