Bolivia - 1868 500c Nine Stars, original matrix on film, being the first step in the process to execute the reproductions, with notations on sides and base including "Alpha BCK" fil of the English brand "Ilford" used by Sperati before WWII, also "hiver" referring to the winter as the chemical substance used was probably reacting better at around 15° in his laboratory, with this being produced in January 1930, undoubtedly unique and the basis to produce clichés.

Cat No: 19
1869, 500c black, eleven stars, of great freshness and good colour, slightly centred to the bottom although a good and attractive centring for this stamp, used on piece and delicately tied by "Administración Correos de Bolivia/7 Dc 76/La Paz" cds, very fine; extremely rare in used condition, and the rarest used stamp of Bolivian philately.
Note: Following the note in the previous lot, only 1,000 stamps were printed and this stamp must be very rarely used as the 500c "nine stars" was still available; indeed Claus Lange states that there should only be very few copies used. According to Escalier and Lange, the latest usages recorded were in 1875. It is difficult to ascertain that this example was cancelled to order on 7 December 1876, but this would be the latest usage recorded. No examples used were gathered in the famous Ortiz Patiño collection. (Image)
