Auction: SW1006 - The Collector's Series, including important Chile and Portugal
Lot: 700

Cauca. 1890, Atrato District, 5c. red, two examples with full to clear margins, both cancelled by "Río Sucio" in manuscript, on envelope to Quibdó. Although Myer and Jewell arose a controversy about the genuineness of this issue, the official decrees which were subsequently considered confirm its legitimacy; some items of this issue, including the previous lot in this sale, were property of renowned collectors of the past such as Burrus or Ferrary. Some soiling and other cover imperfections of no importance for this, one of the only two multiple frankings, both bearing two stamps, of this fascinating typeset issue (just about five franked covers are known). A major rarity of Cauca. Yvert 5.
