These are two stamps from Cuba's "Paintings from the National Museum" series issued in 1967. The works were included as part of the exhibition "¡Cuba! Art and History from 1868 to Today" that was hung both at Montreal's Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands the following year where I saw the pieces. Cafetera (Coffee Machine) by Angel Acosta Leon
1 ¢ - Cuban centavo, perf 12½, offset lithography (Michel 1272, Yvert et Tellier 1086) Primavera (Spring) by Jorge Arche
3 ¢ - Cuban centavo, perf 12½, offset lithography (Michel 1274, Yvert et Tellier 1088)
This series would be the beginnings of WW topical collection of artists and their works that I continue build on; after all, museums and galleries are not open around-the-clock, but my stockbock is... :-)

The French call this printing error "anneau de lune". The error occurs when a paper resulting from perforation sticks to the printing plate or cylinder. The condition is that it is larger than the diameter of the perforated hole. These errors are collected and I have seen them many times on sale. Do you know other countries where they are collected?  |

A small lot of mainly mint earlier issues, one serious flaw, but otherwise a nice lot I received today!  |

Hi stainlessb
I have many similar stamps.
Do you have a specialized catalog that mentions plate flaws?

unfortunately I have little to no references (yet) for Cuba (or Spain, or Portugal) (I have Scot andSG world and Scot classics specialized..... not much detail
I'm told Edifil for Spain (not sure if this would cover Ciuba?) but there are several. Michel... not sure what level of detail, (but must be better than Scott)
Mundfil for Portugal
Buying from the publishers the mailing is half or more the cost of the catalogue. I keep looking for used copies, as I do not collect anything "modern". Theres currently a number of different catalogues (Edifil) on Ebay, but I am not sure which one(s)? (a recommendation??)
I have yet to see any Edifil editions for Portugal

My Cuba stamps are inherited and I keep them for future exchanges with collectors. I would retain in my collection only stamps with plate flaws.   What interests me next are the following stamps that are known to be unissued due to the start of the Spanish American War.  A few years ago I found conflicting information about these stamps which apparently were used as postage on the mail (I can't find the two envelopes on which they appeared with the legal stamps for use - I hope I haven't deleted them). Does anyone have any recent information on this subject? Thank you. |

as always, one or two of these have been posted above, so nothing completely new unfortunately. The reason for posting isn't so much the stamps, but for the fact it suddenly dawned on me that I almost never see stamps from that part of the Caribbean - why I've no idea, I see just about everything else. But I suppose we all have blind spots, and I think for the U.K. it's going to be Commonwealth and GB that happens most commonly. Anyway, here are just five that probably have zero value, but are all tobacco related and date from c. 1939 - 50s period, I think. Quality is poor, and they appear almost to have been rouletted rather than perforated, but I stand to be corrected  |

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

Another find from today's job lot was this mint never hinged set from 1969 featuring art from the National Museum of Fine Arts of Havana (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana). The stamps were in an envelope from the Museo National. On a sad note, I discovered from one of the stock books that the estate auction in my building this lot came from was for a young man of 59 who passed away from cancer this past May. He was on our condo board for many years. I knew him to speak to but was not aware that he was an avid collector of many things. The stamps do not appear to have been added to since the 1980's and likely from when he was a teenager. His unit number and floor plan was identical to mine. It was totally stuffed with his collections.   |

Yes, collected worldwide, by those whom are aware of them.
Commonly referred to as "Chads" or "Confetti Flaws"
See "chads" here in the "Printers dictionary" I would have tens of these, throughout my collections.
Here is one (Under the "R" of Argentina) |

Hi rod222Your stamp is very different from mine. I will try to reproduce the conditions that led to the appearance of the round spot in the color of the stamp surrounded by a white area (explanations received from a French collector) I repeat the previous explanations: 1. The diameter of the spot must be equal to the diameter of the perforation holes -anneau de lune (smaller sizes are considered garbage on the plate) 2. The round paper obtained by perforation reaches the printing plate and is covered with ink. 3. because the round piece of paper is somehow higher than the surface of the plate, that white halo results around the round colored spot. Your stamp only shows a white spot (not colored) much smaller than the diameter of the holes - it does not fit the name "anneau de lune" |

Hi gstamps after translating "anneau de lune" (Moon ring) I agree, in the first instance, However, It is my belief that both are results of "garbage on the plate" I am thinking, different results can be realised from either letterpress or, lithography (moon ring or no moon ring) Personally (right or wrong) I am holding both examples as "Confetti Flaws" If anyone can prove otherwise, I am happy to adjust.

gstampsFirstly, it is OK to have differing opinions, a healthy debate is a good thing. My general consideration of these errors, is EFO's (Errors Freaks and Oddities) but this discussion has enlightened me somewhat to semantics. I have added "moon ring" to my lexicon What I cannot work out, is how there exists NEGATIVE and POSITIVE confetti flaws ? The negative confetti flaw, I think the intrusive "chad" is printed upon, but falls off , leaving a white moon. The positive, I think the garbage, remains stuck to the plate or the cylinder, and causes the "moon ring" with the thickness of the garbage I could only find ONE "moon ring" in my collection, (New Zealand" (Not my stamp) PS: "askphil" and French Philatelic dictionaries do not mention "confetti" or "moon ring"

rod222 , Google translations often confuse me too. "Anneau de lune" I think it can be translated?? as meaning the halo of the total lunar eclipse =moon halo ??

Moderator's Note: This post and the three responses that immediately follow appeared in a thread titled: Unexpected color on Cuba Scott 238 These posts were subsequently merged into the Cuba-specific thread for future reference.
Just curious to know if anyone knows of any color varieties not listed in Scotts for Cuba SC#238. All the samples I have seen are the listed gray blue and black, however this one clearly is not. I don't think this is a possible fade or other toning as a move to a uniform shade of purple would be really strange and it is quite a good-looking copy.

Hi kernelgui Yes, there is Scott 245 1910 50c Violet and Black (Agree, you have a lovely stamp there) Here is mine The Major General requires some Moustache wax.  |

Thanks for your post, Neil ( kernelgui) rod222 beat me to the punch on this one, as I was still typing when his reply was posted. Nice one, Rod. But it reminds me of another point about the often-maligned Scott Catalogues. In the case where there are either re-issues of a stamp at a later time, or when the same design is used again in a subsequent issue, Scott usually notes that at the bottom of the listing. In your example of Cuba, Sc238, in the current edition of the catalogue, it does state "See No. 245." right below the listing for Sc238. The same will hold true for listings of longer sets, but in those cases, you will need to go to the very bottom of the listing to find the note. It may also state something like, "For overprints, see Nos. 000..." This is also very helpful, because it will guide you to subsequent overprints of the base stamps you were just looking at. I know that the Scott Catalogues can sometimes be frustrating to work with, but in this area of noting later issues with the same design, they seem to do a pretty good job of making it possible to locate those later issues if you can find your way to the original one.
Please note: Now that your question has been answered, Neil, I am going to merge this thread into the pre-existing Cuba: Stamps thread. |
