    1866: 4 reales bright red, a diagonal bisect, lower right half, used on 1869 cover to Islay, Peru via Arequipa tied by "Guayaquil / Franca" datestamp (April 26) in red. Fully paid at single rate to Callao / Lima with reverse showing 'Arequipa' cds (May 7) and dotted YSLAI arrival, both in black. The datestamp over-inked and seemingly untaxed on arrival for internal delivery, nevertheless an attractive and rare bisected usage. Cert. Moorhouse (2004) Scott = $ 1'600.
