ID Please - Spanish Stamp

Looks like a 19th Century Spanish stamp. Can't find it in Scott.

That's Queen Isabella 2nd, try Cuba

I don't have your example, mine that is similar is
SG0017 (1864) T0014 01r queen isabella2 [1m0] blue on brown

Beg your pardon,
I did have it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Rod. Yours looks very nice.

When they are that nice Smauggie I tend to assume "re-print",
I toggled mine with yours, and it looks identical.

Found another one I can't ID.

Spain, 1907... But this is not a (regular) postage stamp as the series was issued/used only on 1907 for Madrid Industrial Exhibition in Spain. Forgeries abound.

Here's something I wrote about these way back: http://www.stampcollectingblog.com/...-forgery.php

There is a footnote in Scott, no actual listing. Michel and Edifil, among others, list them. scb points out forgeries...there are also reprints.

You can also read some more about this set of stamps in the link below, under Spain 1907 Madrid Expo Stamps:

Thanks for the info guys. What a lovely series. Mine is perf 11.5, which was the perforation used for the original issue (reprints, I have learned were perf 11). Given the quality of the engraving I am inclined to think it is the real McCoy.

As a Marine Engineer, what I really adore in these stamps
is the "Watts conical pendulum speed governor"
seen as the doohickey with the two balls above the gear blank
centre vignette.

Watt designed these as early as the late 1700's and I was
still adjusting these in the boiler room of a Daring
Class destroyer in 1975. (on the water maker)

As the speed of the spindle increases, the balls fly out with
centrifugal force lifting a valve, which allows pressure to escape
to atmosphere, allowing the spindle to decrease speed.
In this way the spindle has constant velocity.

To see it on a stamp was delightful.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have missed the governor. I was introduced to these when I met the father of a friend who built small-scale steam railroad engines. These were small enough to sit on and ride (mostly for children).

Smauggie,nice one!
By the way you happen to have a stamp with the variety,the left "c" connects with the "2".Look at the Rod stamp it's seperated.I do have the whole reprint issue(perf.11) in the stripe of eights and there a few more printing flaws/varietys.But if memory serves me well I can recall that in my 25c stamps there are two examples like yours.
Does anyone know how many issues were released?

kmncd,
you are awarded the "flyspecker" of the day award :)

Prize:
brief notoriety on SCF

LOL!!
Thank you Rod I'll accept this award.As a child I liked playing the games of "spot 10 differences between the pictures".For me it is just a habit to look for some irregularities.
