Description: COLOMBIA/PANAMA(1886)-LOT OF -FIVE-(-5-)-BLOCKS of 6 Stamps-Speculative Essay by G.Michelsen.MINT -1 CENT/2.1/2 CENTS/5 CENTS/10 CENTS/ 20 CENTS/ Gustave Michelsen made some reprints of Colombian stamps. He was a consul and abused his position (see Philatelic Forgers, their lives and works by V.E.Tyler). After changing the name to 'Republica de Colombia' in 1886, the remainders of the previously issued stamps were bought by him for 8 Pesos per thousand stamps (including proofs etc.). They exist with postal cancels (see the Paul Ohrt 'Handbuch der Neudrucke' book for examples). At the same time he made reprints of stamps of which there were no longer stocks with the original printing plates. Together with the printer Demetrio Parades, he reprinted many Colombian stamps (somewhere from 1880 to 1890). He made new stones of plates that could no longer be used. He might have collaborated with the American William Theodore Curtis Thank you very much for your help and.... HAPPY BIDDING!!!
