VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE PROVISIONAL "TRANSIT" HANDSTAMP AND THE EARLIEST TRANSIT HANDSTAMP USED IN PANAMA. FEWER THAN 10 EXAMPLES ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST.

According to Parmenter-Gordon, this is believed to be a precursor to the three-line transit datestamp, having been produced locally as it was not entered into the proof books. It was created as a temporary solution while the proper handstamps were requested from London following the Mar. 16, 1848 Postal Convention between the United Kingdom and New Granada. It is only recorded used from March 1856 until the new handstamp was received after having been sent from London on Jun. 2.
