    1866: 4 reales pale red, a vertical pair and a diagonally bisected example in combination with third printing 1867/70 ½ r. bright blue in a horizontal pair, all used on restored large front of cover to Quito, all cancelled by three manuscript ink lines with "Esmeraldas" datestamp (Nov 20) at top. The 4 r. pair with small contemporary scissor cut but a very rare internal usage of the bisected 4 r. (three recorded) for pre-payment of a 22 ounce package. Peripheral faults but a great rarity.
