Description
1883 (Feb 21) Cover from Santanna to Maranhao, franked by 1878-79 20r violet in vertical strip of five, with each stamp cancelled by two pen strokes, vertical filing fold affecting the multiple; according to Comelli, one of just five used strips of five on or off cover recorded; it is interesting to note that each stamp has two diagonal slits at right, which were most probably applied to avoid the stamps to be removed.
