S.G. #CC1, Black "Paid at/San Juan Porto Rico"
Crowned Circle, an unusually clear and attractive strike of this scarce
marking on folded 1857 entire letter to Madrid, Spain, in combination
franking with choice Cuba 1/2r Greenish black with four extra-large margins
(Scott #9 var), most interestingly this cover either did not go through the
Puerto Rican post office or if it did they forgot to apply that post
office's markings, as the stamp is tied by French transit c.d.s. and a
Spanish blue oval grid which was quite likely applied on arrival in Madrid,
lovely British "San Juan Porto-Rico/SP 21/1857" double-arc c.d.s. on the
reverse, via London with "Paid" c.d.s. and "PP" in circle, then via France
to Spain where backstamped, ms. "1/11" British rate, extremely fine; not
only is this an unusual and rare usage, but the condition is outstanding
with all markings, both front and back, well struck and attractive,
magnificent condition rarely found on these covers; Francisco Graus
certificate; ex-Jarrett.(Image)
