Spanish Civil War (1936-39)

I think they are local charity stamps. Quite a few towns, particularly in Nationalist areas, issued them to raise funds for services and the like.

The Nationalist slogans "Arriba Espana" and "Viva Espana" are often found on the labels.

I would really like to find out more about these. Does anyone know of any literature on these, preferably in English?

I'd like to revisit this thread with these labels I've recently found.
They bear the yoke and arrow symbol of Franco's Fascist party.



Google translates the larger ones 'Cocinas economics Fuente de Piedra' as 'economic kitchen stone fountain' (I've never said Google's translations were perfect!).
The smaller labels read 'social assistance' at the top, which makes sense. But 'Loya' at the bottom translates as 'nausea'. 
Hmmm.

I will assume these are charity labels. I wonder who the gentleman is. I don't think it looks like Franco, though I guess it could just be a very bad portrait.

The Generals in the Spanish Civil war, The Nationalists, were active in Southern Spain early,
and in my Civil War Catalogue...

Nationalist Towns which issued tax Stamps include Fuente Piedra (Province of Malaga),    ergo I believe that is what our stamps are.

The towns appear to number in the tens, maybe the hundreds, which illustrate what a collecting challenge this discipline is.

Thanks for the info Rod. I did think 'nausea' was an odd thing to include on a stamp.
Went back to the stock book were I found these and discover these two as well.
It pays to look twice (at least).

Thanks for the information on these. I didn't know the history behind.
Makes me want them even more

Ryan is "The Stamp Forum's"  official Librarian nut, he has a vast collection,  I am just following in his footsteps, or trying to....
but I agree with you, there are some fascinating bits of info out there,
a lot of it is beginning to appear on the web, esp the Scandinavian countries.

Would envisage articles from both sides.
Republican and Nationalist.

Tarragona issued Republican Tax Stamps,  this one I have read, may have been philanthropic.

by the way,

Schwanke Auktionen has some nice 'U-Boat' material in their upcoming February auction:

Among other things, they have the very rare imperforated Block up for grasp:

Riga Stamps is currently offering a perforate version of the stamp and have identified it as Galvez B823. I assume that reference is to a listing in the CATALOGO GALVEZ ESPECIALIZADO DE LOS SELLOS DE CORREOS DE ESPANA 1960.

Does anybody have any idea from where this Spanish Civil War provisional issue might have come from - it's from somewhere in Asturias based on the overprint




I recently picked up a set of the EDIFIL Spain Specialized Catalogs, so I have volume VI which covers the Civil War local issues, but after searching a half hour I can not find this stamp (was submitted by a Colnect user).

if anyone has any leads that might help me track down its identity I would be appreciative.

This is the image for the issue from the 2023 Edifil catalogue.
As you wrote, it only lists a red overprint for your value.

Looking at the quality of the overprint on your stamp and that in the image from my catalogue, does suggest your overprint may have been an attempt by someone to fill a space in his or her album.
