1870 An album page study of the « Numeral stamps » St Thomas – La Guaira – Paquete issue, with three unused 1 Centavo yellow, three 1/2 Real green (one used) and three 2 Reales blue (one used), some apparent faults, although one of each value are fine, extraordinary scarce examples; known as « The Mystery Stamps » by Ringstrom & Tester because little is know of their history, the period of use being so short, but it is thought they were created for franking newspapers sent abroad, the only known use being on a newspaper fragment; a rare selection.
