1860, June 9. Entire letter from Peumo to Santiago, franked at single rate with "Estancos" 10c. well margined diagonal half, tied by mute cancel with matching "PEUMO." oval handstamp at left. From this very small locality, 60 km southwest of Rancagua, no pre-adhesive mail is recorded, this being the only cover known and the evidence of the usage of this fascinating postmark which was put into use after the introduction of stamps. Ex Blank and Menéndez.
