EXTREMELY FINE. THIS REJOINED PAIR OF RARE UNUSED 5-PESO STAMPS IS THE CLOSEST PHILATELISTS CAN COME TO A MULTIPLE OF THE THREE HIGH VALUES OF THE FIRST BARQUITOS ISSUE. THE TWO STAMPS ARE ALSO AMONG THE FINEST UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE 5-PESO EXTANT.

There are no intact multiples of the 3, 4 or 5-peso Barquitos stamps. Therefore, this rejoined pair of the 5-peso is the nearest example of a multiple.

Ex Dale-Lichtenstein, Boker and Sanchez. Pencil note on back of left stamp indicates it came from the collection of Dr. Chiesa, one of the earliest collectors of Buenos Aires stamps.
