COLOMBIA, 1921, 30c Rose, "Servicio Postal Aereo de Colombia, PANAMA" Oveprint (Sanabria 45). Violet Barranquilla cancel at bottom right, light but clear overprint, minor creases and trace of toning along perfs

VERY FINE APPEARANCE OF THE 30-CENTAVOS WITH THE PANAMA SCADTA OVERPRINT. ONLY THREE USED EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED.

This overprint, known on the 30c and 50c, were one of the first experiments with consular overprints outside of New York. They were made available for use in the SCADTA office in Panama in 1921. Only four examples of this overprint have been recorded to date, three in used condition - a) the example offered here, ex Goeggel (Sept. 2013 Corinphila), b) ex Johnson (Jan. 2014 Spink Investphila), and c) Offered in Jun. 2014 Spink Investphila. The fourth example is the unique unused example offered in the prior lot. Unlisted in Scott.
