1476 « 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, a marginal strip of 7 from the top of the sheet, positions 3-9, deep
shade and good margins, just a small part of right margin roughly separated, showing remarkable
manuscript “46” in sheet margin with ink drops adjacent, believed to be a sheet number, being
this very unusual. Slight surface rubbing and thinning at left and two usual and trivial vertical
folds, not detracting from this, the fourth largest recorded multiple. A very attractive showpiece.
Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 10; Yv 7.
1477 � 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, an incredible marginal and very fresh copy with outstanding margins,
neatly cancelled by “Panamá/Franca” oval in red. A superb example of this extremely rare
cancellation. Scott 10; Yv 7. Ex Londoño.
1478 � 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, a very fine copy from the right of the sheet, with sheet margin
and two large margins, touched at bottom left, cancelled by very rare “Santa Rosa/Franca” oval
handstamp. Scott 10; Yv 7.
1479 � 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, a splendid copy displaying detailed impression, three huge margins,
being a sheet margin at base, neatly and cleanly cancelled by numeral “5” handstamp in red. A
luxurious example. Scott 10; Yv 7. Ex Newbury and Londoño.
1480 («)/� 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, a selection of four copies showing the most prominent constant
flaws, including used pos. 16 with large retouch in top left background, used pos. 17 displaying
double partial transfer at top (small thin), pos. 18 showing large spots in the shield and below the
upper tablet, as well as pos. 54 inscribed “Cur” instead “Cor” in “Correos”. A good opportunity
to get these four scarce varieties, very difficult as a group. Scott 10; Yv 7.
1481 � 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, a very large margined copy, used together with 10 c. yellow buff,
both cancelled by superb strike of “La Plata/Franca” oval in blue. 5 c. adhesive with slightly
repaired margin at bottom left, well clear of the design, in no way detracting. In remarkably fine
condition, further enhanced by the extremely rare La Plata cancellation, very probably unique on
piece. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 10, 11; Yv 7, 8. Ex Larsen and Londoño.
1482 � 1860, 5 c. grey-lilac, stone B, large margins all around, used together with 10 c. yellow buff,
mostly large margins, slightly cut into in bottom margin, both tied to piece by “Bogotá” eyeglass
oval. Scarce. Scott 10, 11; Yv 7, 8.
1483 « 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, a striking single copy showing very fresh impression, full sheet
margin at top, wide to large on other three sides. Superb. Scott 11; Yv 8.
1484 («) 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, large to huge margins, showing lower “10” figure converted into
“20” variety. Rare. Scott 11; Yv 8.
1485 («) 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, huge margins on all four sides, showing mirror offset on reverse,
being a very rare variety encountered in classic Colombian stamps. Very desirable. Cert.
Bortfeldt. Scott 11; Yv 8.
1486 «/(«) 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, a selection of five unused copies with good margins, including
worn states. Scott 11; Yv 8. (No photo)
1487 («) 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, pair from the top right corner of the sheet, positions 9-10, with
full sheet margins on two sides, the other sides being large. Shield paper embossing at top right,
extremely rare thus. A stunning showpiece. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 11; Yv 8.
1488 « 1860, 10 c. yellow buff, stone A, block of four, positions 25-26 / 35-36, wide to huge margins,
