COLOMBIA Air Post (C2-10) 1920 Compania Colombiana de Navegacion Aerea The complete set of nine values, unused without gum as issued Compania Colombiana de Navegacion Aerea was founded September 28, 1919. In February 1920, the C.C.N.A. obtained a franchise to fly between Cartagena and Barranquilla and was authorized to issue its own stamps. This was facilitated by overprinting "Compania Colombiana de Navegacion Aerea Porte Aereo" and surcharging "$ 0.10" on the Curtiss Aereo Plane & Motor Co. advertising labels. Less than 100 of each of the nine types were produced. These stamps were used on two first flights on February 22, 1920 from Cartagena and returning March 4 from Barranquilla. In July 1920, the air mail concession was passed to SCADTA. The C.C.N.A. ceased to operate in April, 1922. The complete set of nine values, unused without gum as issued, 10c Condor just touching at left as usual, generally fresh and very fine condition, without the usual faults that plague this most popular Air Post issue, each stamp with a 1991 Rendon certificate. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a complete set of these popular stamps. Only 15 (!) complete unused sets are possible, cat. value $53,500 (Image)
