These stamps all appear to have a Spanish connection or source but I have never found them in my Scott's catalogs. Any information as to their identity or use will be appreciated. Thanks, Big Daddy DaveImage Not Found

re: Help with Identification

Here's a pointer (from Wiki) to the issuing state of the bottom left stamp:

The Sovereign Council of Asturias and León (Spanish: Consejo Soberano de Asturias y León, Asturian: Conseyu Soberanu d'Asturies y Llión), was an unrecognized state in northern Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Proclaimed on 6 September 1936, it was self-declared sovereign on 24 August 1937, while the region was occupied on 20 October 1937 by Franco's military forces. Belarmino Tomás was the Sovereign Council's first and only President. The capital of the short-lived state was Gijón.

re: Help with Identification

The top three stamps are charity labels on behalf of the orphans ("huerfanos") of the staff of the telegraph service.

They could not be used to pay for telegraph services.

re: Help with Identification

Here are copies of Spain C51 from my collection, reprint on the left, original on the right:

Image Not Found

From the Scott catalogue: "Nos. C50-C57 have blurred impressions, yellowish paper. Value: one-tenth of originals."

The Scott 2014 catalogue values the original at .90 for mint, .55 for used.

The reprints were apparently done privately, and largely or only, I suspect, as a scam aimed at collectors. But an interesting scam for all that. I've had some fun with the 1 peseta value, commemorating Charles Lindbergh's flight. See my web page, A Charles Lindbergh Puzzle — What's that darned cat doing there?

re: Help with Identification

I have a reprint of the left stamp in a different color (light blue), which is kind of cool.
