First issues of every country have always been popular with stamp collectors. Many collectors collect first issues of the world and there has always been a tremendous appeal to casual collectors to acquire the first issues of the countries that they collect so that the number ones and twos of most countries sell extremely well. The problem is finding them.
Ecuador first issues are among the scarcest of any country in the world. The literate population of the country in 1865 was tiny and the commercial correspondence was small. Add to that the fact that any domestic correspondence was unlikely to be saved. In our August sale we are offering a specialized collection of hundreds of these stamps. It is truly a connoisseurs collection and I urge you to look at the lots in the catalog when it is posted this week.
