Item Description

1864 Venezuela 1/2 Real San Tomas La Guaira Steamship Line Imperforate Used Forgery. SOLD AS REPRINT, FORGERY, REPRODUCTION OR BOGUS ISSUE! (NO RETURNS ON THIS ITEM FOR ANY REASON!!!) This Paquete Medio Real Stamp Was Issued Around 1860-1865 For Use In Venezuela. It Was Specifically Designed For Private Maritime Mail Services Operating Between La Guaira, Puerto Cabello, And Saint Thomas (San Tomás, Now Part Of The U.S. Virgin Islands).During The Mid-19th Century, Venezuela Did Not Have A Fully Developed Government Postal System For Overseas Mail, So Private Shipping Companies Issued Their Own Stamps To Cover Postage Fees For Letters Transported Via Steamships. These Stamps Were Affixed To Mail Sent Between Venezuelan Ports And The Caribbean Island Of St. Thomas, Which Was A Major Transit Hub For Mail Heading To Europe And North America. Chat GPT
