These can also be perhaps featured under TURKEY geopolitical region.
Information Romaniastamps.com
Any other colour than Blue-green, indicate a reprint or a forgery (and there are squillions)
The local railroad post formed the link between the Danube Steam Navigation Company mail boats calling at the commercial port of Czernawoda
(Rom. Cernavoda, or Cerna-Voda), located in SE Romania on the Danube River WNW of the city of Constanta and ca. 105 miles E of Bucharest, and the Austrian Llyod services
at Kustandje (Ger. Küstenja, Rom. Constanta), the Black Sea port ca. 25 miles E of Czernawoda.
These are local stamps issued in 1867 for the territory then belonging to Turkey and are inscribed "D.B.S.R. / Local-Post / KUSTENDIE & CZERNAWODA / 20 PARAS" ("D.B.S.R.":
stands for "Danube Black Sea Railway").
These stamps are found used on letters from either Kustandje or Czernowoda, paying the loose letter railroad rate.
They are found as mixed franking , on covers, with the stamps of Lombardy-Venetia.

Should turn up in mixed lots Brian, at least they used to. Only for dedicated study, there were 5 reprints. Yes a Steam Engine, Danube Paddle steamer, and lots of small craft, that look like boys on surfboards. Some excrutiatingly beautiful covers, with locals aboard. (A fairly hefty download, but worth it) documents.davidfeldman.com/uploads/downloads/085/austria/98-109.pdf |
