Hogar Escuela De Huerfanos De Correos With 1941 Overprint

I just found this while rummaging through an envelope of Spanish stamps looking for the elusive 4p Franco and haven't been able to find any information on either the stamp or the overprint. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

An attractive cinderella.

I have never seen these explained
I have them lying under Spain~Charity issues
and
Spain~Telegraph chrity.

For orphaned children of Telegraph personnel, Hobar School?

I have only seen two stamps in the set
unoverprinted and overprinted.

The other vignette is Bacchus by the painter Velasquez.

It's not Hobar, but Hogar (meaning Home). So the charity is a Home and School for orphans. I have not seen stamps of this set. I do have a few of the telegraph orphan stamps.

Thanks.

Both the stamps show the genius of Velasquez.

Hello

Well, seems a "little frog on ice cube" for me, cannot not see the image :(

But the rod stamps are two stamps of 1938 and 1941 on my old "Edifil" catalogue.

5 stamps on each set (5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, 1p) with different "Velásquez" paintings, the overprinted stamps has not issued (i think that means the word ("NO EXPENDIDOS") at the catalogue.

Thanks FM solved
"beneficia"

I completely missed them in my edefil

Thanks to all.

I found an image of the 5cts without the overprint so I assume it is of the 1938 variety.



I also found one that includes "sin valor postal" in the overprint.

Some more, if anyone can offer any specific information
for my album page please.....
Otherwise Charity seals for orphans of telegraph workers ?

Hi

Rod, the first stamp with the image of the train station was issued with that overprint in 1940 (Edifil catalog Nr.42 in the charity stamp secc.). The same stamp without overprint is from 1938.
Is a charity stamp to raise funds for the school-home of orphans of postal workers.
The others two are also charity stamps, of voluntary use and without postage value for the same thing. I'll looking for more info about them.

Something more about the stamps with Velazquez paintings:

They were issued in 1938 during the government of the Spanish Republic (the popular-socialist government of those years).
Later in 1941 the remainder was overprinted with the black bar to delete the inscription "República Española" by the new government of General Franco, but finally were not issued (no expedida). Some of them also were overprinted with "sin valor postal" (without postage value)

Thanks Jorge, for the input,
I have edifil, must have missed that one.

I oft wonder the people / organistion behind these charity labels,
it must have been quite a concern, organising the production and distribution
of these labels, they abound in one form or another
Unusual to see waterlow on the vertical labels.

There must have been strong competion between printers,
I noticed the other day, early Colombian issues show
De La Rue, Waterlow, Bogota, US Bank note, each taking turns in job lots.
