"Issued by the Postal Mutual Assoc
and used for tax exemption (postage)

They were circulated in differing forms
and were sold to the public."

re: Mystery Stamp

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.

re: Mystery Stamp

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?
