AIRMAIL SURCHARGE S
A Classic Durón Fake
Hot of the press are sheets of Duron's "accidents" for shipment to his dealer/catalog front in New York. After 90 years the gringo catalog still promotes these as "varieties." BH50 cancel on inverted overprint type S. The lovely registration marking and number is faked. By January 15 the Tegus post office was already registering #155. The 6c green stamps are actually genuine!Addressed from Mr. Karl Snow to Mrs. Snow. Mr. Snow is famous for his basement print shop.
All Type S overprints were created by Durón for delivery to his stamp dealer fronts or Tegus buddies. Above he got carried away and changed 1932 to 193z.
