1849 4c black and red Poste Locale, the so-called Vaud (Waadt), a magnificent used example of this very rare stamp, featuring four extra-large margins, with dividing lines on three sides, crisp impressions, neat strike of a red rosette cancel on piece with corresponding Geneva 3 May 50 struck alongside, v.f., signed Diena, Ernst Stook, also von der Weid, with his 2004 certificate ("en parfait etat de conservation et de fraicheur"). The Four Cent Geneva cantonal is one of the key rarities of early Switzerland, with superb examples such as this being incredibly challenging to locate (Zu.9, SFr 25,000) (this 4 centimes "Poste Locale" adhesive was intended for letters within a city, while the 6 centimes "Cantonal Taxe" was used for letters abandoned and delivered in the Canton of Zurich. The reason why the stamp is called the �Vaud 4� is attributed to the fact that it was used in Geneva and the district of Nyon in Canton Vaud. The stamp was issued in sheets of 100 but the total number of items that was printed is also unknown. It was made obsolete in a year due to the December 1849 currency law, thus making Vaud 4 really scarce) (Catalog value $ 20,750)
