At last, something i can relate to ...i believe they are proofs of scott #62 and #63 of the 1897 Central American Expo issue. The colors of the 6 centavo are brown orange and the 10 centavo are black dull blue compared to the colors on the "proofs". These stamps are usually found overprinted "Telegrafos" and used to pay for that purpose. If they are sheetlets and not part of an envelope and you want to sell them i would be interested. phil

How very interesting. I think they are probably sheetlets since I don't see anything that looks like part of an envelope. Why not send me an offer via "messages" and I'll consider seriously. Kent (or Kool, as you probably realize)

Hi Kent, arriving at a price from my end is difficult... the books i have on Guatemala were written a long time ago and they did not give values. I will try to find out some kind of value from the Guatemala collectors society.

It is usually much easier for the owner to set a figure that he,
or she, will be satisfied with and the buyer can meet it or not.
For one thing the owner can actually see the item in living color.

Could they be proofs in different colors of Guatemala Sc # 60-73? I am actually missing some of this set (50c, 75c, 150c).

Nothing so mysterious. They are simply cut-outs from a series of wrappers and envelopes.
Issued in 1897 for "Central America Exhibition"
Envelopes H & G #9-12
2c black on lilac
6c black on pale orange
10c black on gray blue
12c black with no background
Wrappers H&G #3-4
6c black on green (this means that dell4c's "envelope" is likely open at both ends, i.e. a wrapper)
10c black on violet (shown above)

As Roy comments. In the "Central America Exhibition" 1897, there were stationery, envelopes, souvenir sheets, postcards, etc. Those that I came to have in my possession were embodied in a very thick cardboard numered on back.
