Everything about the Uruguay reproductions was made by Sperati. This includes any forged cancels and examples with fake gum. Uruguay was a particular favorite of Sperati as evidenced by the fact that he used the 1856 Diligencia issue "sun face" as a logo. He made several custom orders of Uruguay reproductions for a German collector living in Argentina, William Hoffmann. These included reproductions of specific sheet positions that were needed for plate reconstructions by Hoffmann.
