    1876 (July): Great Britain 1873 6 d. grey pl. 14 and 1 s. green pl. 10 used on 1875 cover at single rate from Cobija to Guildford, England endorsed 'via Panama, per W.I. Mail to Southampton', tied by two strikes of the "C39" obliterator with superb COBIJA circular datestamp below (July 20, code C) in black. The stamps originally cut on piece from the envelope and thankfully returned to their original position, reverse with Guildford arrival cds (Aug 28). Illustrated in Parmenter & Gordon on page 3/6. The cover with further faults but a most elusive Postal Agency and despite the obvious imperfections, a not unattractive cover and a very rare usage.rnProvenance: Collection André Bollen, Köhler, Wiesbaden, 8 Feb 1983, lot 483.
