C11

Colombia, Airmail, 1920, Flier in Plane Watching Biplane, 10c green (Scott C11), a pristine complete pane of 72, fresh from the lithographer's stone. The designs were laid down in blocks of four, with resultant minor mis-registrations between blocks readily apparent. The full sheet layout—two horizontal panes of 72—can be surmised by the ragged left-hand margin (in contrast to the cut top, right and bottom sheet margins). Without gum as issued. Overall fresh and bright, though expect an age spot or two or minor marginal wrinkle.

A great find for the Colombian aerophilatelist, or for your inner printer's devil. Scott $4,320 .

C11C-C11D vars

Colombia, Airmail, 1920, Biplane over Sea & Mountains, 10c red brown (Scott C11C-C11D vars), in a full pane of 68. Sixty images se-tenant, with #C11C and C11D alternating in ten rows of six, plus an additional two columns of four juxtaposed at the foot of the sheet. Lower left corner, otherwise blank, contains the "corner card" of the printer: "C. Valientem./Litografo/B'quilla." The two juxtaposed columns are arranged tête-bêche, providing Scott #C11Cj, and the full sheet will of course contain the "redrawn mountain" variety at position 23 (#C11Dl). Appears to be from top of the larger press sheet. Without gum as issued. A few toned spots at the top, with bottom right corner torn. Scott $5,975 .

Persia, 1901 (Aug.), Internal Registered entire, sent Sultanabad to Hamadan, a 1Kr Coat-of-Arms entire uprated by five 1sh gray on green Lion-and-Sun issue (Scott #136; block of 4 plus single); red-on-white "R Perse/No" Registry label with straightline "Registered." handstamp below (the latter tying the 1sh single); addressed to the Revd. J.G. Watson at Hamadan, with double-oval "Agence Ziegler & Co." handstamp struck twice (inverted to one another); indicia and stamps tied by indistinct Sultanabad [present-day Arak] daters; violet straightline "AUG 24 1901" likely receiver; paper clip rust stain at lower left and horizontal fold through address panel of no consequence, F.-V.F.
Suggested Bid $200

The Ziegler Agency, based in Sultanabad, was one of the leading popularizers and exporters of Persian carpets in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Interesting that this cover front is to an American missionary, whose work extended beyond proselytizing to fighting against the opium trade—one of Ziegler's earlier marketing ventures. (Image)

9305

Turkey, 1893 (Mar. 13?), cover sent from Hudaida to Istanbul, a spectacular cover from one of the farthest-flung Ottoman territories, Yemen, to its heart of power in Istanbul; franked by a bisected 2pi 1892 Coat-of-Arms issue (Scott #98), tied by an absolutely perfect two-ring "Hudaida" cancel (A&P Type 1), with a bilingual MAR [day unclear] 93 origin c.d.s. alongside; the receiver on reverse is a bit interesting, as it is dated (bilingually and bi-calendrically) AVR 6, but reads as an origin with "Depart Cons/ple S. Porte" in roman characters (the Ottoman equivalent is blurred); reduced at left with vertical file fold center, still Very Fine, signed lower right.
