More Spanish Cinderellas:    That all folk for now. I do have some Spanish revenues and telegraph usage on 19th Century stamps, but do not know if those should go in this thread. |

Here is a cinderella from the Canary Islands--"Tourist Propaganda" makes me chuckle. The fruit in the lower left corner look suspiciously like oranges! It is amazing what one can find here in the Forum. |

Today I searched in one of the envelopes with inherited stamps.  Searching on google I found a thread on TSF started a long time ago. The presentation made by BerylliumGuy helped me a lot and at the same time challenged me to a more in-depth study. (see the highlights in red)  Since I had several 4 Pesetas stamps, I used them for studying. Sorry for the phone pictures but I don't have a scanner. I think I have reached the following types of stamps: 1. Genuine stamp - perforation 11 ½, engraved (thin, continuous lines, color with a brighter appearance)  2. Stamp reprinted from the original plate - perforation 11, engraved (thin, continuous lines, color with a brighter appearance)  3. Stamp reprinted after the large plate - perforation 11, engraved copper plate (thicker lines, with interruptions, a darker appearance)   4. Stamp reprinted after the large plate - perforation 11, lithographed (the lines specific to the engraving no longer appear)  I hope I was not wrong in my conclusions and that it will help you in identifying your cinderellas. |

certainly the reproduction of the engraved details/lines - in stamps one and two - are much superior to the others, which appear muddy and lack sharpness.

Thanks for your post, George. Sorry for my slow response, but I didn't realize that you had mentioned me. It looks like you have done some nice work with these stamps, and I congratulate you on having found some genuine originals of these 1907 Expo stamps. I only ever had the reprints, which I identified by the perforations, and I never had any originals to compare to in order to see the difference in print quality. Anyway, nice work again and thanks for posting. |

@beryllium Guy
I failed to mark your username in my initial post and I'm not successful either (I write with "B" and "b" appears in the post.
For us, beginner collectors, posts like yours, with comments from specialized works, provide us with additional information that represents a start for a more careful analysis of the stamps we have in our collection.
Initially, I started by checking the perforations and when they did not match, I gave up and archived them in the forgeries area.
The information in your post led me to check the printing method and it was very fun to observe the differences.
George

Many thanks for your response, George ( gstamps). I am glad that you found my earlier posts helpful and worthwhile. As for how to "tag" others on TSF, please have a look at this thread: thestampforum.boards.net/thread/2657/tag-member-postFor my user name, which displays with a space in it, the key if you are typing it in is to do it without the space. If you read all of the posts in that thread, you will see that there are other ways to make the tag, as shown by Vince ( stanley64), which you may find easier than typing the name. Anyway, thanks again for your post. |

I see the cinderellas I mentioned in another thread earlier already exist on this thread, but I'd like to post them anyway as I think they are stunning. These are two of the set of 1945 stamps issues for the rebuilding of Saragossa Cathedral, matching up nicely with the last post by daniel !    |

I do have a soft spot for these Spanish labels. So many local taxes, obligatory taxes, voluntary taxes. Makes you wonder how voluntary they were! In response to Daniel's post above with the set of 5 postal charity labels, I'll show the 10 I have which seem to indicate there was a multitude of colours, perf and imperf. Always more to collect!  |

I, truly, don't collect Spanish items, but I know something about them.
"voluntary tax"? As "voluntary" as anything may be on the context of a fascist dictatorship... Items, sent without them could reach (or not!) their goal. You, could get "a visit" of an inspector or police for whatever reason... Law can be quite "flexible" on that context... Anyway, on the item showing a virgin and a chappel, you can see XII century Barcelona's Marcús Chappel (Capella d'en Marcús, for us). It was the siege of the Catalan Postmen Gild and it's devoted to Our Lady of the Good Guidance. The chappel, was on the way from Barcelona's Roman walls to the North (France and the rest of Europe). From the door of the chappel, the priest blessed the postmen going on a, sometimes not-easy, journey.

Since we're on this subject, I've never posted my meagre Zaragosa collection here before (that I can recall). Most of what I have are similar to those above, with a couple of exceptions.   I'm curious about the cancels. I know these have no postal value. Were they used on envelopes and cancelled accordingly, merely as extra labels showing payment of charity donation? I wondered if they may be CTO, but those I have with cancel have no gum, which indicate they've been used. Thanks |
