Salvador, Ecuador Etc... Seebeck Inquiry

Are these by chance Seebeck issues. They are certainly some of the prettiest stamps I have.

I don't know anything about them but I think they are great

They don't design with the Grandeur of these stamps any more.

I am guessing,
but they most probably are. (nothing wrong with that either)
I have lots in that format, and yes
they are lovely stamps / cutsquares.

Lockemup,
You may wish to change your thread title to ..Salvador Seebecks query.

Then other students in the future can access your post and take advantage of it.

With "ID Help" will bring up nothing when the student searches.
Cheers :)

Thanks rod222, I am guided accordingly. lockumup

Hi lockumupthrowawaykey

To get more information about seebecks take a look at the APRL (American Philatelic Research Library):

I believe the book by Robert A. D'Elia and Douglas B. Armitage is one of the latest. A friend has the book and says it is excellent:

If you are not an APS member you may be able to get a book, or manuscript, through the inter-library loan system. Check with your cal library.

I had a friend who once told me that if the issue looked too clean and pristine it was probably a seebeck. I have a ton of these issues for Ecuador.

Yes, they look like Seebeck issues. Seebeck would contract to provide postal stationery, telegraph stamps etc. as well as postage stamps to his customers when he could.

I suspect these were cut from plain sheets of reprinted stamps rather than completed postal stationery produced just to meet the demand from the stamp trade at the time for cutouts.

Dear Lock.......
The 3A in the second image and the 4C in the last image (excel language) are two cuts out from Ecuador Seebeck Wrappers, originals, there are not reprints from those, usually those wrappers carried newspapers. The Mint whole wrappers are easy to find, used are scarce, sometimes are used together with stamps. Those are the only two wrappers ever Ecuador issued.
