Happy New Year! I've looked in my Scott's Catalog (sorry, it's all I have) and can't locate these. Does anyone know if they are even in Scott's and what numbers they are? Thanks!     |

Thanks, Cjd. Any idea where I might be able to get values on these? However, I assume, of course, they are worth only about 20 cents. If that! :-) |

Telegraph and Telephone Stamps of the World (by Hiscocks). However, I think it was put out in the 1980s, so the prices would not be up to date. |

Edifil lists the earlier telegraphs, but mine lists none after 1896.  I have a text document that says there is a 1910 set of Cuba telegraphs, which could be yours. Again, Byrum might list them...I can check that later. |

Yeah, Edifil will only cover the Spanish Administration on those telegraphs. The telegraph stamps you show are are inscribed Republic of Cuba, so they must have been issued after 1902. |

As always, you folks here are a veritable fountain of knowledge. For now I will put them in an envelope and label them for future research. Thanks! |

Oh, yeah, Spain and Colonies.
Doh!
Far and away my biggest braincramp of the year. (Here's hoping it holds that title for more than a few hours.) |

Byrum lists them, more or less.
The 1910 series has seven values - 1c violet, 2c green, 3c olive brown, 5c orange, 10c blue, 20c rose, 50c black.
The 1911 series has six - 1c light blue, 2c carmine red, 3c violet, 5c olive green, 10c brown, 50c yellow green.
So, you must have a mix, though I'm not sure if the colors show up true on my monitor...the 2c, in particular.
