    1839 (Nov 12): Otavalo Postmaster's certificate, headed "Administracion de Correos Otavalo" at top with perfect strike of framed "OTAVALO" handstamp in red-brown applied alongside date at the base of the letter. The strike itself unrecorded by Harris: and earlier than all three straight line Otavalo types thate Leo Harris lists. Most attractive and unusual.
