1858-1872, Fabulous collection of mostly high-quality examples on early issues (through the Lecoqs) mounted on various exhibit pages plus others on older pages or stock pages, about 220 stamps (multiples counted as singles) and 5 covers in all, with some British P.O. cancels, many items with significant rarity ratings in Lamy & Rinck or Emsing, must be seen to be properly evaluated, see complete scan on our web site (Est. € 600/900) (Image)

1867 Cover from Lima (?) to USA via Panama, bearing the extremely rare large s/l “APRIL 22 de 1867” in black, one of TWO KNOWN strikes of this type of cancel (the other ex-Eitner, lot 4138), Panama /Transit ds and blue crayon “24” debit, “N. York / Steamship” arrival and italic “34” applied as the country of origin was not clear (normal postage from Peru was 24c). Very fine and important cancellation showpiece (Image)
