Just found these in the back of one of my albums. Quite interesting, so I searched to see what I could find out about them. Zaragoza (1937) Stamp-issuing status: inactive. A province of northern Spain. The Nationalist authorities overprinted contemporary Spanish issues for use in Zaragoza in 1937. Through the late 1940s, a number of large, colorful charity stamps were issued in Zaragoza. Although inscribed "Sin Valor Postal" ("Without postal value"), these are often mistaken for postage stamps.  |

I had uploaded this to an earlier topic but since this thread is specifically about locals, here it is again. What I do not know about this local is whether or not it is a forgery. It is a 1 cent black on buff or very dirty white paper. Marty  |

Lithuania local issues 1. Raseiniai ( Rossingen ) local issue of 1919 In 1918, there was a shortage of postage stamps in the city of Raseiniai after the German Occupation Authority allowed the organization of the post-offices in Lithuania. Total 36,624 stamps were printed at a local printing shop and used from January to March 1919 until situation became normalized.  |

I have a set of these, basically the same stamp design on different colored papers.  I'll look around to see if I can find some more locals to share. The biggest challenge for me is to remember where they are.  OG |

I don't know anything about these, except that I think that they are local stamps produced by the Nationalist forces in Valverde del Camino during the Spanish Civil War  |
