Canal Zone 1924-25 1c Franklin Error (#71a), Inverted Overprint, block of 4, tied by mute killers on large part of Registered penalty cover with additional 1c (#71), 2c (#73) & 5c (#74), to Cristobal with Mar. 23, 1925, Registered, backstamps. Cover is from W. Lindo, a messenger in the Port Captain's Office in Cristobal, who discovered the error, to J(oseph) W. Coffin, Chief Clerk in the Port Captains Office, who obtained most of the errors from Lindo. It is estimated that approximately 50 examples of this error were saved. This is the only known used multiple, and one of only a couple of covers known. The cover, which shows evidence of having been burned at bottom, has been reduced substantially at the bottom, far from both the stamps and markings. A Blockbuster Showpiece and one of the True Rarieties of Canal Zone Philately!!
