This is another Transport cover that I acquire from the recent Nutmeg auction. This cover to South America is franked with two 10-cent Transports C27, with 5/7/1945 duplex cancels tie with a 5-cent Prexie, addressed to
Bogota, Columbia. It is returned to sender, censored, Universal Institute corner and 3 colorful backstamps. A very
attractive postal history.
What is interesting about this cover was, the
25c rate to
Colombia was by far the
most brief usage during the 1941-1946 period to the South America continent according to the
GH Davis Transport handbook. It would be quite a challenge to go out and look for an example of this. Do let me know if you find any!

I recently picked up this hobby again thanks to an article by Armand Rousso "Philately Extends Life". Armand, who founded the first online stamp exchange, reminded me about all the great reasons to do philately!
Nice rarity to Colombia. Have you got any rare Soviet stuff, e.g. something from the USSR cat series?
