    1846/56: Printed Documents (15) concerning registered mails to be carried from various Ports to Lima by P.S.N.C. Steamers (most of these annotated in pencil at top), with Trujillo example showing superb oval framed "VAPOR" in black, Huaraz example with str. line "VAPOR" in black, 1854 Lambayeque example with superb oval framed "VAPOR" in red; Paita with framed "VAPOR" in black; further examples from Lima, Casma, Chiclayo, Chincha Alta, Islas de Chincha (diamond framed "VAPOR" in blue), Islay, Pisco, Yca and Yungay (framed "VAPOR" in black) and an 1846 with handstamped "Capitania del Puerto Del Callao" Anchor marking. Also a printed Bill of Lading showing a Steam Packet with the form designating the PSNC "Lima" to carry a "Melted bar of Silver" from Callao via Panama and Chagres to London. Some edge wear but many superb, a remarkable group - a shame these had not been recorded prior to Mike Robert's wonderful recently published PSNC book.
