This was a shuttle service from Romanian grain loading ports on the lower Danube. Whilst the handstamps are found on D.D.S.G. covers, largely during 1870, they were in use on the Parcel stamps for a few more years, probably until 1875. It is speculated that they were designed to handle packages through Customs / Border Control, as five towns named on the Parcel stamps are on national borders.

Danube Steam Navigation Co 1878: 10 kr. green, Type II, perf. 9½, the unused sheet of 100 subjects of brilliant fresh colour, showing the characteristic double perfs. in four positions - the 78 mm. perforator was overlapped in the horizontal rows so as not to extend into the margins of the sheet; 'blind' perforations on the second, third, sixth and ninth horizontal rows (the only stamps in the world ever to be perforated in this fashion) with five perforations between the two blind perfs. Complete sheet margins at right and at base, the sheet with some inevitable creasing and splitting with protective hinges in places, large part og. with most unmounted og. An exceptional and extremely rare multiple for the connoisseur of these issues. Cert.

Danube Steam Navigation Co 1866/78: Lithographic composite Plate Proof for 1866/68 17 kr. and 1878 10 kr., Die II, in black in Transfer blocks of twenty of each value (2 x 10), printed on folded medium rough wove brown paper (247 x 398 mm.), pencil file number "1154" at top, which suggests this Proof was made much earlier than the issue date for the Die II 10 Kreuzer value (probably before May 1870 as the archive Control sheet was file numbered 1095), thus this establishes the Die II design some eight years prior to eventual issue. From the common small flaws in the designs in the same positions on the Transfer blocks with the 17 kr. laid down initially and the 10 kr. taken from it: these 20 positions being the same as illustrated by Hurt and Kelly for the 10 kr. Die II issue, pencilled "Druckproben-Abzuege der Original Gravur" at base (Proof printings from the original stone). Central horizontal file fold and some edge wear but splendid and exceptionally rare. (Image 1)(Image)
