| This unlisted (?) Paraguay was seen on eBay. A fantasy? |
| This Paraguay fantasy is an early one--and a scarce one--but this copy shown is, I believe, a Spiro Bros forgery of the fantasy. Don't print my answer just yet--look in Melville's book for the story on the original. The original I think was produced by the Allan Taylor gang. [Brian McGrath] |
| Indeed so, it is in Melville. The item was printed in 1868 by the Boston Gang, before the first stamps of Paraguay were issued. [Rick Scott] |
| This is indeed the common Spiro forgery. The SAT originals were finely engraved....and rare. [David M. Stirling] |
