The “Esmeralda” Collection Starting Price € 1804 � 1864, 10 c. violet, cut into at base and touching at top, used on piece in combination with 1865 2 1/2 c. black on lilac and 1866 eighth issue 10 c. lilac, both well margined, all cancelled by “Ybagué/Franca” two-lines handstamp. A very rare mixed franking. Scott 36, 38, 46; Yv 30, 35, 1. 1805 � 1864, 10 c. violet, two well margined copies, in mixed franking with 1865 2 1/2 c. black on lilac and 1866 10 c. lilac, mostly large margins, all used on very rare manuscript money order from Ibagué to Cartago, endorsed “EE.UU. de <strong>Colombia</strong>/ E. S. del Tolima”, dated 12 April 1867, signature and receipt docket at base. Stamps tied by “Ybagué/Franca” two-lines handstamps. A unique mixed franking on any postal artefact, further enhanced by the very rare usage of an entirely manuscript postal document. Offered at auction for the first time. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 36, 38, 46; Yv 30, 35, 1. 1806 («)/� 1864, 20 c. blue, an extraordinary complete sheet reconstruction of 55 stamps, being mostly used copies including different shades, one strip of three in top centre and several rare cancellations. This assemblage is based on the research by William T. Hall published in “The London Philatelist” in 1925, which arrangement consists of five complete horizontal transfer strips of six subjects at left, as well as another five horizontal strips from types 2 to 6 at right. Similar to the other reconstructions of this issue previously offered in this sale, the absence of large multiples precludes proving the theory that the complete sheet comprised of 121 stamps. Some copies with faults. A very difficult assemblage which, to our knowledge, is unique, an important visually striking showpiece. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 39; Yv 31. 1807 � 1864, 20 c. blue, a remarkable marginal strip of three from the base of the sheet, types 2-3-4, outstanding margins all around, cancelled in manuscript “Plata” and part of a different pen cancel. Slight vertical fold in centre not visible on front. Of superb appearance. Scott 39; Yv 31. 1808 � 1864, 20 c. blue, strip of five, types 3-4-5-6-2, deep shade, mostly huge margins, showing very elusive complete “Salinas Chita” manuscript cancel. Faint vertical crease between stamps, of no importance. Extremely rare, being one of the largest 20 c. used multiples recorded. Scott 39; Yv 31. 150 150 2’000 1’400 100 250
