ColombiaFirst Issue1859, 2½c. olive green, 10c. red-orange, stone A, in mixed franking with second issue 10c. yellow-buff, all with predominantly very large margins, tied to piece by "Call./Franca." blue oval handstamp of Cali (featuring "Call" instead "Cali" in error). Illustrated on page 55 of Dieter Bortfeldt's "Colombia Philatelic Handbook and Catalogue". The only example known of a three-colour franking exhibiting the first and second issues (only bi-colour combinations are also recorded); this piece possess an even greater significance if we consider that only two further three-colour frankings on piece, but only exhibiting first-issue stamps, are recorded.
