Scott 46 from 1879. (That's for the perf 14. And the color is listed as claret. Your stamp is a bit brighter.) |

Looked in my Michel postal stationery catalog, and your item is the correct color (claret) of the perforated stamp rather than the postal cards (reddish brown). Then I looked at your pic again, and the margins are cut really close. Looks trimmed, and as Jenny2u said/questioned, mounted on paper backing. |

Ya..Back has writing on it..Must have been attached to a post card or something..Or cut out...Funny the lighter colour of the stamp has no writing on it..Just the darker colour as though it still has paper attached to it. Robert  |

This cut square could originate from either of the below postal cards...
1889 H&G 16 10c brown red on cream b[115mm:80mm], (a) Provincia at lower right, ('89)
<or>
1893 H&G 26 10c brown red on cream d[140mm:90mm], (93, 94, 95)
It would have been nice to have the entire, but some collectors get scissor happy it appears.
Regards,
