Colombia
1809 � 1864, 20 c. blue, three wide margins, upper margin just slightly cut into, used on 31 March 1869
cover from the district judge at Obando to the district mayor of Ambato (Ecuador), paying a double
weight letter rate, cancelled “Ipiales” in manuscript, being a rare cancel. An extremely rare
franking to external destination, of which only about five covers are in existence. A fundamental
showpiece of this issue. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 39; Yv 31.
1810 � 1864, 20 c. blue, a large margined copy, in mixed franking with 1865 2 1/2 c. black on lilac, each
cancelled by pen strokes on printed postal document containing details about the mailing of a
parcel, dated 11 May 1868, endorsed “estado Soberano del Cauca” from the principal administration
of the National Post in Popayán to Cartago. Stamps slightly damaged by small filing holes,
not detracting from this unique franking, enhanced by being used on a very rare postal document.
