The general extreme limit of the double-Reissner-Nordstrom solution is worked out in explicit analytical form involving prolate spheroidal coordinates. We name it the combined Majumdar-Papapetrou-Bonnor field to underline the fact that it contains as particular cases the two-body specialization of the well-known Majumdar-Papapetrou solution and Bonnor's three-parameter electrostatic field. To the latter we give a precise physical interpretation as describing a pair of non-rotating extremal black holes with unequal masses and unequal opposite charges kept apart by a strut, the absolute values of charges exceeding the respective (positive) values of masses.
