CubaOutgoing Mail1847, March 6. Entire letter from Havana to San Sebastián, handstamped on arrival with small "Yndias" straight-line and "25Rs." due marking, both in red, the latter used to pay a very unusual high rate corresponding to a 1½ ounces weight. One of just two covers recorded bearing the "Yndias" handstamp of San Sebastián; this postmark has not been registered in any catalogue, including the advanced publication by Tizón-Guinovart. Very fine and most desirable.
