    1865: 1 real green, two single examples and an exceptional usage of a sheet marginal diagonal bisect on 1867 'turned' cover front to Latacunga annotated at "4¾ oz." in manuscript, the adhesives all tied by "Guaranda" datestamps in black (Feb 20). Reverse with exceptionally fine pair of 1 r. orange-yellow tied by 64 dot lozenge cancellations in black and used back from Latacunga to Guaranda. A rare and attractive usage, we have yet to record another example of a marginal frameling bisect usage on cover.
