The Most Important 1 Peso Item<br />
1587 («) 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, the sensational block of four, positions 8-9 / 17-18, showing slightly shifted<br />
vertical rows, sheet margins on two sides from the top right corner, being large at base and left,<br />
graced by fresh precise impression and deep shade. Trace of corner crease just affecting the upper<br />
left corner frame line of one adhesive and scissors cut between bottom two stamps, in no way<br />
detracting. The most spectacular of the two largest recorded multiples of this value, being unique<br />
as a block of four, while the other multiple is just a strip. The most important showpiece of this<br />
value, as well as a great rarity of <strong>Colombia</strong>n philately. Cert. Bortfeldt and Rendon. Scott 18; Yv<br />
14. Ex Larsen, Londoño and Sánchez Vega.<br />
1588 � 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, position 8, deep rich color and crisp impression, wide to large margins, close in<br />
right margin, cancelled by “Antioquia/Franca” oval handstamp in red. Small and slight thin confined<br />
to right margin, not impinging on the design. To our knowledge, the only recorded example of this<br />
cancellation on 1 p. stamp. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 18; Yv 14.<br />
1589 � 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, position 19, intense deep shade and large margins all around, with manuscript cancel<br />
of Bucaramanga. Showing upper part of “2” to the left of “UN”, being part of the figure of the 2 1/2<br />
c. value which was not completely erased in the process of transfer. A desirable variety occurred only<br />
once per sheet, enhanced by the scarce cancellation. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 18; Yv 14. Ex Londoño.<br />
1590 � 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, position 5, deep rich shade, three large margins, slightly cut into in small portion of upper<br />
margin, cancelled by neat strike of “Cali/Franca” oval handstamp. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 18; Yv 14.<br />
1591 � 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, position 36, very deep shade, wide to large margins, cancelled by “Colón” red oval<br />
handstamp. Tiny thin of no importance. A very rare cancellation. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 18; Yv 14.<br />
1592 � 1861, 1 p. rose lilac, position 34, pinkish shade and handsome fresh precise impression, with wide<br />
to huge margins, showing complete and elusive manuscript cancel “Guaduas”. Very fine. Cert. Bortfeldt,<br />
signed Rendon. Scott 18; Yv 14.<br />
