Lot 61170 – 1930 Columbia Air Mail 50c on 36c sage-green mint o.g

1930 Columbia Air Mail 50c on 36c sage-green mint o.g. with just the faintest trace of a hinge, faintest of bends at foot, fresh colour, very fine example of this airmail rarity and quite possibly the finest centred example in existance, cert. BPA (2001) (S.G. £6’000, Scott $9’000.00, Unitrade C$12,000).

Note: The Newfoundland government overprinted 300 copies of the 36c “Caribou” issue for use on this flight. Only 100 were actually used (65 from St. John’s and 35 from Harbour Grace).
