The Islander Collection of Buenos Aires continued...

Buenos Aires 1858 (Oct) One-Peso ("In Ps") Brown
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
75° c 1858, 1p (In Ps) Light Brown (1).> Huge margins at top and right showing parts of adjoining stamps, other sides full to clear, tied by lightly-struck <<ponchito>> cancel, Correos de Buenos Aires 13 Dec 58 circular datestamp on blue folded cover t1858, 1p ("In Ps") Light Brown (1). Huge margins at top and right showing parts of adjoining stamps, other sides full to clear, tied by lightly-struck ponchito cancel, "Correos de Buenos Aires 13 Dec 58" circular datestamp on blue folded cover to Goya, "Administration General, Correos del Parana" oval handstamp

EXTREMELY FINE. THE ONE-PESO "IN PS" BROWN IS MUCH RARER ON COVER THAN GENERALLY APPRECIATED. THIS SUPERB FOUR-MARGIN STAMP ON A NEAT FOLDED COVER IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FINEST.

The Alemany collection contained two 1p "In Ps" Brown covers (both to foreign countries), but a survey of other important Buenos Aires collections revealed the great rarity of covers with this stamp. Peplow also observed its rarity, stating "Whatever may be the reason there is no doubt that the 1 peso brown ranks in rarity next after the 3 pesos" (page 33).

EXTREMELY FINE. THE PAIR ON THIS COVER AND THE PAIR ON PIECE IN THIS COLLECTION ARE THE ONLY RECORDED CANCELLED MULTIPLES OF THE ONE-PESO "IN PS" BROWN. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING BARQUITOS ISSUE COVERS EXTANT.

As previously noted, the One-peso "In Ps" Brown is a rare stamp on cover. Multiples on or off cover are exceedingly rare, and, to the best of our knowledge, all three are contained in the Islander collection. They are the pair on piece (lot 79), this pair on cover, and the uncancelled pair on the cover in lot 80 (the only reported "unused" multiple).
