  • Losnr. : 4240 Mexiko

    Puebla 8 r. green on red-brown, a fine used example with sheet marginal 4 r. black on yellow showing guideline at left, used on 1862 registered front of cover to the Lottery in Mexico City, each stamp boldly cancelled by straight line FRANCO handstamp (Schatzkes fig. 1147B) in black. The edge of cover with six circular handstamps denoting registration (Schatzkes fig. 1153A) and two line CERTIFICACION A PUEBLA / SALIO EN 8 de Nbre. de 1862 (Schatzkes fig. 1164) above. Slight file fold between the stamps not affecting the adhesives or appearance. Reverse with docketing of receipt (Nov 10) and oval 'Administracion General de la Loteria Nacional' handstamp in black. An extremely rare usage.

    Provenance: Bill Shelton (1984).

    Note: It is believed the 8 reales green on red-brown was issued in April 1862, therefore by the time this cover was mailed, it is probable that just 300 stamps had been consigned to Puebla.
