In the Scott catalog regarding Panama #'s 15-21 Scott states" in 1903 nos. 15-21 were used in Cauca and three other southern Columbia towns. Stamps canceled in these towns are worth much more." can anyone identify this manuscript town cancel from November 12, 1903 on Panama 10c orange # 18
Panama was once a state of Colombia. The US helped Panama gain its independence because we needed to build the Panama Canal and Colombia was not ceding the land. Therefore, Colombia cancels are normal until the early 1900s.
Thanks Rodney. I've got at least one convert to the correct spelling of the country.
