Auction: SW1020 - Maritime Mail of Spanish Colonies in America
Lot: 284
SpainErroneous Internal Mail1832, Dec. 16. Entire letter from Mahón (Minorca Island) to Avila via Madrid. Most probably due to the fact that the letter was mixed on departure with other correspondences originating from America, the "Yndias" straight-line and the due "5R" handstamps in red were applied in Madrid, thus paying an improper postage for the followed route. An extraordinary usage which is further enhanced by the exceedingly rare "Yndias" postmark of Madrid.
