context_page_description: Private stamps have been issued in Uruguay by companies instead of the national postal administrations. These stamps were only intended for usage for local inland delivery and were unrecognised by the UPU. The postal services organised by the stagecoach companies, led by Mr. Lapido, started issuing stamps in 1856. These first private stamps came to be known as the Diligencia issue. A second issue, the so-called Soles de Montevideo, followed in 1859.
  This is a survey of the private stamp issues of Uruguay.
