"Issued by the Postal Mutual Assoc
and used for tax exemption (postage)
for personnel of the Post Office (pensioners)
They were circulated in differing forms
and were sold to the public."
A charity label from Spain, 1947, somewhat akin to a Christmas seal, and used during the period of Franco's dictatorship. As such, the use of the word "voluntary" is probably more than a bit ironic. Here is an example of a cover utilizing one.
Thanks to Youpio for help in identifying that stamp. I had never seen one so I find it interesting that it was a seal akin to some of the US charity seals. I am guessing that the denomination on the stamp was the amount being donated when it was purchased/used. Is that correct?
That is correct.
I have this stamp (and several others) that I am unable to identify or find an answer as to its origination. Could a collector with more expertise than I posses help me with this stamp please?
