1817 �/� 1864, 50 c. green, large figures, two copies with mostly very good margins, types 1 & 4, showing
part of very rare cancellations with “Admon. de Correos/Victoria” and “Chita Franca” handstamps.
One stamp with slight thin. Scott 40; Yv 32.
1818 � 1864, 50 c. green, small figures, selection of four copies cancelled by rare manuscript cancellations
of Garzón, Girón, Ipiales and Pamplona, as well as red “0” numeral. Each stamp with minor
faults of little significance. Scott 41; Yv 32a.
1819 � 1864, 50 c. green, pair with sheet margin at base, being large on the other sides, cancelled by
Medellín blue oval handstamp. Very fine. Scott 41; Yv 32a.
1820 � 1864, 50 c. green, small figures, block of six, just touched at places, cancelled by several strikes
of “Bogotá” pearl handstamp. A very rare used multiple, being the third or fourth largest recorded.
Scott 41; Yv 32a. Ex Londoño and Sánchez Vega.
1821 � 1864, 50 c. green, small figures, used on piece in mixed franking with 1865 2 1/2 c. black on lilac,
1866 5 c. yellow, together with 1868 10 c. lilac, generally good margins, cancelled “Correos/
Nacionales” in manuscript. Vertical crease only affecting the 5 c. value. An extremely rare fourcolour
franking, very probably unique. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 36, 41, 45, 54; Yv 32a, 34, 42, 1.
1822 «/(«) 1864, 1 p. red and carmine, basic transfer strip reconstruction of six types, including one marginal
and corner copy from position 55, all except type 6 (slight crease) with either good or very good
margins. Scarce. Scott 42, 42a; Yv 33, 33a.
1823 � 1864, 1 p. red and carmine, complete sheet reconstruction of 55 positions, taking as a base the
original research by William T. Hall published in “The London Philatelist” in 1925, in which
the stone comprised 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. All stamps except one are used, including
a remarkable block of six and one strip of three, comprising different shades and few better
cancellations. Some stamps with minor faults. One of only two complete reconstructions extant.
Very desirable for the advanced collection. Scott 42, 42a; Yv 33, 33a.
1824 �/� 1864, 1 p. red, two strips of three, one being marginal cancelled by blue Medellín handstamp,
the other tied to piece by rare “Cipaquirá/Franca” oval handstamp. Very fine. Scott 42; Yv 33. Ex
Sánchez Vega.
1825 � 1864, 1 p. red, two blocks of four, types 2+3 & 6+1,both possessing large margins all around,
cancelled by various strikes of “Medellín/Franca” oval handstamp in blue. Some slight vertical
creasing not visible on front, still very fine. Scott 42; Yv 33.
1826 � 1864, 1 p. rose red, a remarkable block of 9, types 3-4-5 repeated in three horizontal strips, with
three complete “Magangué” manuscript cancels. Horizontal folds at bottom resulting from the
original postal usage of the multiple. The second largest 1 p. used multiple in existence, showing
an extremely rare cancellation usage. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 42a; Yv 33a.
1827 � 1864, 1 p. rose red, a well margined strip of three, used on piece in mixed franking with 1862 50
c. green, large margins, tied by neat “Admon. Nacional de Hacha/Feb 7 1878/Tunja” blue cds’s.
A unique and extremely difficult mixed franking including this high 1 p. value, being also the
latest usage recorded of the 1862 issue. An important exhibition item of great significance. Cert.
Bortfeldt. Scott 21, 42a; Yv 17, 33a. Ex Consul Span and Neuburger.
