Junkers' First Flight Cochabamba to Oruro 1925 (Aug. 11): 'Correo Aereo / a Oruro / 11-8-1925' ovpt. in green on 50 c. orange on semi official air post stamps, two examples used on double rated envelope tied by oval 'Correos de Bolivia / Cochabamba / 10 AGO 1925' handstamp in black with adjacent blue green c.d.s. of that post office at bottom left and Oruro receiving c.d.s. of August 11th at top left. One stamp exceptionally well centered, the other slightly centered to the bottom right, has two "25" from the "1925" caused by one overprint being displaced. Very fine cover with all markings on the front; the Junkers F13 flight to Ouro had a few more covers carried than to Sucre and more have survived, but like the previous cover, double rate covers with two of the air post overprints are extremely rare and this cover is one of only two or three covers known to date. Ex the Brian Moorhouse estate.Starting bid : 500 CHFHammer price : 700 CHF -
