Postage paid postcard (the first of the Canal Zone) from Cristobal, C.Z. to Colon, Panama. Postmarked September 18, 1908.

It is interesting to note that both places were right next to each other and that Colon, similar to West Berlin in Germany for a long time, belonged to Panama, but represented an enclave in the Canal Zone area.
