1631 c ImageVIA PANAMA, United States, 1861, 5c Brown, 30c Orange (71, 76). Tied by grid in circle cancel, clear strike of "San Francisco Cal. Jun. 17, 1865" double-circle datestamp on cover with "Via Panama" illustrated steamship corner card, addressed to Locarno, Switzerland, red New York transit datestamp and "12" credit handstamp, blue "Aachen Franco 23 7" framed transit handstamp, red and blue crayon credits, Swiss transit backstamps, faint purple ink stain at lower right, light toning and folds at edges

VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS "VIA PANAMA" ILLUSTRATED DESIGN WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. A WONDERFUL 1861 ISSUE TRANSATLANTIC COVER.

The illustrated "Via Panama" envelopes were published and used mainly from 1858 through 1860. This is the only example of this particular type we have seen or could locate in the Levi records. It is used quite late, but was probably published years earlier. (Image)

1632 c ImageVIA PANAMA, United States, 1866 Wells Fargo & Co. to Colombia. 3c Pink entire (U59) with Wells Fargo & Co. printed frank to Buenaventura, Colombia, clear strike of blue "Wells Fargo & Co, San Francisco Mar 9" oval datestamp and "Paid" in oval, "via Panama" endorsement at bottom, red "Panama de Oficio" and "Panama Debe" handstamps, the former likely struck in error as this was not an official use, also with boxed "De Ultramar" handstamp, rated "10" and manuscript "10c", Lima Jul. 31 transit backstamp, stamp originally affixed at top left but subsequently removed prior to mailing as the Wells Fargo "Paid" oval is struck over that spot

VERY FINE AND STRIKING USE OF A WELLS FARGO & CO. ENTIRE TO COLOMBIA VIA PANAMA AND LIMA, PERU. UNDOUBTEDLY A UNIQUE USE.

The Panama "De Ultramar" handstamp is very rare and is seldom found used on cover. The interesting route via Lima was likely employed due to the infrequency of southbound ships stopping at Buenaventura from Panama. It was probably deemed faster to catch a northbound coastal ship from Lima that would call at Buenaventura.

Ex Campbell. With 2014 Moorhouse certificate. (Image)

1633 c ImageVIA PANAMA, United States, 1861, 3c Rose, 10c Yellow Green (65, 68). 3c single with corner torn off, 10c horizontal pair, cancelled by ovals, "Weaverville Cal. Apr. 18" (1868) circular datestamp on cover to Newcastle, New South Wales, from the Richardson correspondence, "12" cents credit handstamp, "Panama MY 17 68" transit datestamp, faint Sydney transit and arrival backstamps, cover tear on back, minor edge faults

FINE. A RARE AND UNUSUAL ROUTE FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW SOUTH WALES VIA PANAMA.

This cover overpaid by 1c the 22c rate to New South Wales by American Packet to Panama, then by British Packet to Australasia (with 12c credited to Great Britain). The PMSS Golden Age carried it from San Francisco to Panama on April 20, 1868. It then sailed by British steamer Rakaia from Panama on May 24. This cover originates from a group of nine covers addressed to Martin Richardson at Newcastle, New South Wales, which came to light in 1981 and were sold through Christie's Robson Lowe in New York.
