1920 'Temesvar' picture postcard used to SPLIT, Dalmatia, Yugoslavia and franked by 1918 10b. rose-carmine pair tied by Temesvar '28.II.20' c.d.s. (still olf Hungarian device, but date altered), and by scarce circular "CENZURA ROMANA, TIMISOARA" in red, with boxed "CENSOR/13./BELIC" Yugoslav censor h/s in Cyrillic alongside. (N.B. The Treaty of Trianon allocated 'Temesvar' to Romania with other parts of the Banat going to the newly independent Yugoslavia.) Card slightly stained, but a scarce item of Banat postal history. This lot is a "Gebotslos". It will be sold at the HIGHEST BID (not one bidding step above the second highest bid). (Image)
