1900: 25c. rose and blue on cover from 'Djibouti' addressed to Emperor Menelik II personally in 'Addis Abbeba'. On the reverse are two transit marks HARAR (7-8-19) and ENTOTTO (20-8-19). According to 'Payne' (Cockerill Series Booklet 17), the year slug '00' for 1900 was not available, hence '19' was used (as the next best thing). The stamp on this very fresh letter is stuck down over the edge. Nonetheless a most desirable letter of the period to a prominent recipient. (Image 1) (Image 2)

1865: ½ real green on greenish wove paper, a fresh and fine Plate Proof on ungummed paper with large margins all round, two minor age spots at right. A scarce and most interesting Proof in the issued colour of the 1 real. It is stated that the issue was designed by Emilia Rivadeneira who copies the Greek Large Hermes Heads for her design. This Plate Proof matched very closely the Large Hermes 5 lepta value both in colour and the shade of the paper - indeed the three original stamps are in the shades utilised for the 5, 10 and 20 lepta values.

First Printing Group 1865 (Jan 1): ½ real bright ultramarine on greyish wove paper with slight surface blueing, fine impression, the superb unused block of eighteen from the lower left corner of the sheet of 84 subjects, positions 49-54/61-66/73/78, the final stamp with a small closed tear, position 53 with the characteristic dented framed above "C" of "Correos" at top, full marginal rule vertically and horizontally at base, minor bends as to be expected between rows - of no significance as this multiple represents the second largest recorded of the First Printing where only blocks of 12, 18 (this block) and a block of 48 exist. Fresh and fine and of exquisite delicate colour, large part og. A lovely multiple for the classic specialist.rnProvenance: Collection 'Crown Point', Corinphila sale 131,, Oct 2001, lot 6684.

A stunning multiple of great freshness with large part or unmounted original gum. One of the great gems of all South American Philately. Unique.rnProvenance: Collection Bill H.

First Printing Group 1865: ½ real ultramarine on slightly greyish paper, a used example with four margins, clearly cancelled "Quito / Franca" datestamp "4 / ENERO / 65" - the fourth day of proposed issue and the first day of actual issue. Ex collection Olgieser. Unique.rnNote: The earliest recorded date of use for the Ecuador first issue is 4th January 1865 on this ½ real used in Quito and also on a 1 r. orange-yellow. The 1st January 1865 was a Sunday and it is probable the stamps were delivered to Post Offices on the following day and actually issued on the 3rd or 4th of January; certainly this last date marked the first shipment of adhesives to Guayaquil.
