Bolívar. 1863-66, 1p. red, a stunning block of seven, types 3-6 / 10-12, very fresh with clear to large margins on three sides, just faintly clipped at top left, tied to piece by very fine strikes of ''SINCELEJO'' straight-line in purple. Illustrated on page 22 of Dr. Gene Scott's Colombian States handbook. Scissor cut between adhesives at left of the bottom row, faint diagonal crease and negligible surface rubbing affecting the upperright adhesive, in no way detracting from this rarity. The second largest recorded multiple used, showing the only example known of this cancellation in existence, which further enhances this showpiece's desirability. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 3. Ex "Esmeralda" & "Tito" collections.
