Ecuador put out some attractive stamps in the 1930s as the set from which your stamp comes is an example. Not only were they colorful, but large too, and. as a youthful collector, colorful and big was better.

They are attractive stamps. This type of issue tends to confuse me. I see an airplane so I assume I should look it up in the BOB. Then I look at it again, and it days mail, not air mail. *sigh*
large and colorful for the youth.. well I guess still count me as a youth ! LOL ... love me a good bicolor engraved stamp !
I couldn't resist! I have had a soft spot for all of pre-1950 Latin America since the late 1960s.
I could go on with examples like these for a loooong time! Here are just a few:

I have to include Panama, of course.
