  • Lot# : 676 Bolivia

    Colonial 1824: Quarterly report from the Oruro Post Office dated at base December 31, struck at top with perfect strikes of abbreviated / truncated "RTA. DE CORREOS" Nacional "POR EL REY" and "ORURO" handstamps (Colareta figs. 3+4+5, almost certainly taken from this document) at top all in red. A magnificent document in the finest possible condition - and very probably the last such sent with the "POR EL REY" as Bolivia's Independence was secured the following year.
