Two 5p WW II Covers to Shepherd Hitchcock & Co (US)

 These have ineligable postmarks, but I can make out a 3 for 1943 in one of them. The 1p25c airmail stamp saw considerably less use than the 1 peso value from the same series. The stamps should be 1E3 paper.

Two 1944 5p Covers

 The 2p and 5p stamps should be 1E3. The first cover is to the US, has  and bears 9.05 pesos in postage.



The second cover is to England and bears 6.20 pesos in postage.



Two 1p 1944 Covers to the US

 Both covers are 1.05 pesos rates. Both covers have plastic censorship tape. The first cover has a "Via Panagra" marking.



These two covers are examples of the difference between the 1E3 paper (first cover) and clay paper (second cover).

All four covers have plastic censorship tape and the stamps are all clay paper.



The slogan reads: "July 9, 1816 The Independence of the United Rio de la Plata Provinces is Solemnly Declared."




The slogan reads: "Avoid Forest Fires."




The slogan reads "The Maipu Victory Ensured Chile's Freedom April 5, 1818."



Five 5c Moreno Continental Grain Ship Covers to the US

All are from 1944. All of the stamps are on clay paper. All were posted in Buenos Aires.

The slogan reads: "September 20, 1880, Buenos Aires is Declared the Capital of the Republic."


Two 25c Covers

 The first cover is an airmail 1.05 pesos rate to Mexico from 1944.






The second cover is a 25 centavos ship rate from the Shepherd, Hitcock & Co correspondence. The date is unreadable.
