Cuba 1885 - Sc 125 on 1885 cover from Bayamo to Manzanillo.
Sc 125, 1883 5c gray blue stamp (1st retouch - EDIFIL 100 - Type II) on a beautiful wrapper (no contents) from Bayamo to Manzanillo. Stamp cancelled with rare ADMON. DE CORREOS - BAYAMO and Coat of Arms double-rim oval handstamp applied in black. These handstamps were almost never used to cancel stamps. They were usually seen applied to lower corners of envelopes mainly on Official mail from a given Post Office. Backstamped on arrival with CORREOS - MANZANILLO - 9 MAY 1885 applied in purple. Very nice and unusual!
