Lot: 1005

ColombiaFirst Issue1859, 2½c. olive-green, a well margined block of four, showing "Honda/Franca" ovals. Corner crease not impinging on the design and very slight thin spots. This multiple is particularly rare; apart from the block used on cover (ex Santa María, sold by Investphila in September 2009), fewer than five used blocks of four are recorded -in the first issue, only the 5c. denomination is also known in used block of four-.
