    1874 (Aug 13): Combination cover from Lima with sender's cachet in blue at lower left to Brighton (addressed to Stafford Smith, an early stamp dealer) franked by Peru 1866 Llama 10c. red in a horizontal pair (Scott 17) and Great Britain 1867 9 d. straw pl. 4 in a horizontal pair, each neatly cancelled by the "CALLAO / C38" duplex with 'Callao' despatch cds (Aug 14) in black at left. Reverse with faults but showing partial Brighton arrival cds (Sept) in black. A scarce and appealing franking: very few covers are recorded with the Callao duplex cancellation.rnProvenance: Collection Collins, Harmer London, 22 Sept. 1941, lot 310; Collection André Bollen, DF, Zurich, 29-330 March 1984, lot 11687.rnrn
