1745-73. Two stampless entire letters from Bahia and Rio de Janeiro carried by Portuguese galleys to Lisbon and Porto, with involvement of the private postal system "Correio-Mor das Cartas do Mar". Considering that only eleven covers sent abroad in this period are known in private hands, transatlantic mail in this early period, the ´´Correio-Mor´´, becomes of even more interest and fascination. Starting Price US$ 1,500
