Description

1855, 1r green, eleven singles and one pair, nearly all well margined, and 2r red-brick, an impressive vertical block of 20 (5×4) with marginal imprint “Sellos de Dos reales Pl…” at top, all used on large piece of wrapper, tied or cancelled by handstamp featuring horizontal lines within framed rectangle (an outstandingly large cancellation on classic stamps), making up a high franking of 53 reales to pay a parcel or a bunch of newspapers, a very rare and spectacular item; this is a very rare example exhibiting this elusive postmark complete, which was used to cancel the franking on large wrappers and probably represents the largest device applied on classic stamps in worldwide philately; ex Dr. Ibáñez.
