<strong>Colombia</strong><br />

1865 � 1866, 10 p. black on red, a remarkable pair in detailed impression, bright intense color, immense<br />

margins on two sides, the others being ample, cancelled “M-e” of Medellín in manuscript, on<br />

piece with small part of 5 p. value at right. A very rare multiple in outstandingly fine state of preservation.<br />

Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 52; Yv 40. Ex Sánchez Vega.<br />

1866 � 1866, 10 p. black on red, crisp impression, with very good margins showing part of adjacent<br />

stamp at right, cancelled by light strike of “Medellín/De/Oficio” oval handstamp. Two minor thin<br />

specks. A very rare multiple showing a very scarce cancellation. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 52; Yv 40.<br />

Ex Jewell.<br />

1867 � 1866, 10 p. black on red, a phenomenal vertical strip of three from the top left corner of the sheet,<br />

detailed impression, two large sheet margins, touched at right and cut into slightly at base, showing<br />

various “Medellín” manuscript cancels. The most spectacular of only three strips of three<br />

known, being the second largest multiple of this value, unique as a vertical strip of three which is<br />

also the largest vertical multiple in existence. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 52; Yv 40. Ex Newbury and<br />
