Losnr. : 4126 Kolumbien
5 c. ochre buff and 10 c. greenish blue, fine examples used on 1861 cover from Bogotá to Castellanos & Ca. in Ambalema, cancelled by fine strike of "BOGOTÁ" pearled handstamped in black. A rare and impressive franking during the four month period under 'Mosquera' rates. Cert. Moorhouse (2012).
Note: On August 28, 1861 Tomas Cipriano de Mosquera altered the existing postal rates by memorandum. He ordered that the internal Colombian postal rates of April 1846 be re-introduced, namely 10 centavos for an inter-state letter and 15 centavos from one state to another. Only four letters are known sent during the four month period between August and December 1861, a new organisation being implemented on January 1, 1862.
