Lot 61644 – 1884 10c blue on white wove paper used

1884 10c blue on white wove paper, a used example displaying crisp impression, mostly large margins, just a bit closer in small place at right, cancelled in manuscript with diagonally applied “Antioquia” and ink strokes, small thin spot confined to top margin and two tiny acidic ink erosions as often found in stamps cancelled with ms ink; unlisted in catalogues, a very desirable example of the rarest stamp of Antioquia, being one of just five in used condition, unique with this cancellation (Yarumal in ms, Medellin hs and other indistinct ms cancels); cert. Bortfeldt (2009); ex Scott.

Note: The magnificent collection of all Colombian States by Dr. Gene Scott (the most important ever formed until being surpassed by the collection formed by Walter Weber in the last decade) had only one example in both unused and used conditions after a lifetime of search. No examples were found in the famous collection gathered by Juan Santa María of Medellin (Antioquia).
