The 1p and 4r stamps on this cover pay the rate for a letter weighing 1 to 1-1/2 ounces (4 reales for the additional rate). This is one of four covers we record with a Barquitos combination: 1) 2p and 4p to Corrientes, ex Caspary; 2) 3p and 4p to Rosario, offered in this sale (lot 53); 3) 1p Brown and 4r Brown to Uruguay, the cover offered here; and 4) 1p Blue and 4r Brown to Buenos Aires, offered in this sale (lot 74). These Barquitos combination frankings are among the highlights of the entire Islander collection.
