Neat find in the bottom of a box a while back: Originally issued to commemorate the purchase of the Port of La Guaira in 1937. Scott catalog states that there was a redrawn version prepared, with the word "NACIONALIZACION" replacing "ADQUISICION", along with some other words and design aspects differing from the original. But Scott fails to mention WHY was it redrawn and WHY was it never issued. I can't find any answers on the net. I'd be curious to hear what some other catalogs say about it. Anyone? My 2013 Scott assigns a value $40 per stamp. Original, as issued.  Redrawn, never issued.  |

Just arrived - a full sheet of a Venezuelan Fournier Forgery showing the dot pattern cancel. This cancel is only known on forgeries. Wow, what a master forger, eh?  |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

I found this stowaway on a Cuba page in the old album I am picking through. I recognized it as a Venezuelan stamp as soon as I saw it. (Scott 79 without the overprint and probably with it as well). The overprint could be mistaken for LA CUBA on first look but it is actually LA CUBANA off centre. Another site had a lengthy discussion on these a few years back and the consensus was that they were overprints for companies or schools. One by another company was posted by rod222 earlier on this thread. There is a LA CABANA one on eBay now at a dreamers price. I will take it to my Venezuela collection for now. PS: Since I followed the listing the seller has sent me an offer of a 33% discount.    |
