Two-man bobsled, designed by C. Alonso [? Argentine painter and draftsman Carlos Alonso (1929- )], printed by lithogravure (De La Rue de Colombia), and issued by Panama on May 7, 1968 as one of six stamps in a set publicizing the 10th Winter Olympic Games in Grenoble, France, Scott No. 484E. Minor mystery: Although this stamp has the word "Aereo" printed on it, Scott does not list it as an airmail stamp. - nethryk  |

Minor mystery: Although this stamp has the word "Aereo" printed on it, Scott does not list it as an airmail stamp. There is a note stating that NOS. 484B-484G are airmail, just following the listing. |

timbres667 - Thanks for pointing that out. It is unusual for Scott not to assign airmail stamps numbers with the prefix "C" and list them separately in the airmail stamps section, even when they are part of a regular stamp set. - nethryk |
