Woo Hoo, another hexagon, actually two for the price of one.


XIX. Exposicion del Circulo Filatelico y Numismatic
Junio 1-15 1965
XXXIII Feria de Barcelona

Google translates to
XIX. Exposition of the Numismatic and Philatelic Circle
1 to 15 June 1965
Barcelona Fair XXXIII

I am guessing that the stamp depicts a hexagonal-shaped magnifying loupe with a flip-over UV or colour filter of some sort. Am I right? Is this tool available for purchase does anyone know? Does anyone have one?

I want one please!

I really like your thought process Puzzler,
interpreting icons is a favourite of mine,
I'd say you would be close,
The representation of the loupe is focussing
on the winged cap of Hermes by the look of things.

A very tasty Cinderella...I want one of those! :)

Afterthought: Are they representations of the coloured chips
that isolate and identify watermarks?
I don't recall a wmk of Hermes helmet however.

Perhaps the winged helmet is a symbol of some group or club, perhaps in Barcelona, who helped put on the exposition?

Puzzler, you are a lucky man.

An unoverprinted version on thick paper [is yours on thick paper?] will be on it's way to you tomorrow with a few other bits.

A nice coincidence to read this today.

Enjoy

my double post (also in the odd shapes on stamps thread) has been deleted. Sorry, I enthused overly!

Hexagonbus1 (alias Londonbus1), Yes it is on thick paper. I noticed first off but thought I was misjudging the whole thing as it was late at night. Thank you for extras! Mine is sitting here lonely on the keyboard waiting for company.

The two together, at last.
Both thick paper.
One is shorter and is on slightly different coloured paper, although is used (no gum) so possibly a soaking / staining result.
