CHILE - 10c-RATE & 40c-RATE COVERS EX VALPARAISO BY NAMED PSNC STEAMERS TO PERU; 16 Dec. 1871 EL (overall toning) ex Valp. to Arica "Por Vapor Atacama" with two 1867 5c tied or cancelled by a mute cork with a faint red cds nearby; plus 30 June 1873 EL (internal flaps pointlessly trimmed) from Valp. to Lima "Pr. Puno" (her Maiden Voyage) with 1867 10c Blue (2) + 20c Green (latter tied by a poor mute cancel; the 10c both have similar cancels and one was placed sideways to avoid covering ship name) with a fair red Valparaiso 2-ring cds alongside.
