1923, May 1 Postcard from Puerto Colombia franked by 15c. blue, with small part overlapping the edge of the card at right, cancelled by very fine two-lines "Pto. Colombia" handstamp in violet, showing sender's cachet of the SADTA's tourist office in centre, with c.d.s. on back, supposedly applied on arrival as the addressee's panel has been scratched, this being of little significance for this important item, representing one of only two usages recorded of this cancellation. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott C13.
