Lot 72291 – Two 1p Rose, deep shades, tied to June 24, 1860 st

Two 1p Rose, deep shades, tied to June 24, 1860 steamer letter (partial contents) from Lima to Guayaquil, ECUADOR, endorsed “pr. Vapor.” As Peru continued until 1863 to charge double the ordinary steamship postage for mail for ports north of Peru up to Panama, the franking paid for a double rate letter. Slightly mixed margins as usual for this tightly-spaced issue, a fresh and very fine showpiece
