Check this out. Honduras C39 & C40 unused with cancels on the backs. The kicker is they are beneath the gum. What do you think the story behind these might be?
This might tie in some way. Large lots were bought up by American or overseas dealers from Latin America posts/dealers. Sometimes the glue was either removed or never had it and was regumed later. Because of humid storage then. Maybe possible it was one of the purchases and someone just flipped a sheet to try out the stamp before it was shipped. Just a thought but always possible.
I should add that I can tell that the perfs came after the gum, meaning that they weren't regummed or gummed at a later time unless perfed at a later time also. I hope what I just said makes sense. I've seen enough regummed stamps to be able to tell.
"Tribunal Superior de Cuentas" = Superior Tribunal of Accounts
Sanabria's Air Post Catalog makes no reference to the reverse side cancel. This may have an part of a control mark early experiment. Since the next year this group overprinted "T.S.de.C." on the face of additional air mails during 1931 as a control mark.
