Offering for sale a truly remarkable piece of philatelic history: the Uruguayan stamp number 483a, recently included in the Scott catalog. This stamp, distinct from its counterpart 483, showcases the fascinating nuances of interwar Uruguayan philately. 

Differing slightly in color and significantly in perforation (11 instead of 12.5) and imprint size (9mm instead of 7.5mm), the 483a was issued on February 14, 1936, predating its 12.5 perforated counterpart by two years. While 50,000 were initially printed, later 10,000 were utilized for the rare "Porte a Costas" service, rendering this stamp exceptionally scarce in unused condition.

Included in this sale is a letter featuring the 483a stamp, accompanied by a 12-cent stamp and a stunning pair of the 483a  and a single stamp of 483 for comparison. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of Uruguayan philatelic heritage. Bid now before it's too late!
