I could not find much.
Cinderella from the Ministry of Education, and honouring the National literacy campaign.

This seems rather an early cinderella for the literacy campaign ?
It appears not to have taken off until 1961



I did find a bit about the centenary of the Cuban Flag, around that time, numerous cinderellas were produced, perhaps this is one of them.

Nothing shown in the Richard C Witt collection.

I did find an auction that identified it as a Cuba Cinderella for the Centenary of the Flag in 1950 by the Ministry of Education but I can't find anything else.

Do you have the link to that auction, please?

Here, the promising text reads "granted to institutions with outstanding work"
that would no doubt include the Literacy campaign

Google translated.

Looks more like a label than a cinderells stamp or a cut out from a larger piece of printing . Is there gum on the back ?

Fabulous link. Thank you very much. Saved.

TIP: If you scan your items with a black background, the perforations are highlighted.
We could have picked up your roulettes.

As far as I am concerned, the ID is solved, it is part of that Flag centenary
advertised in that blog I posted.
Expensive bit of paper.

The Fidel Castro Cinderella quoted as the same price $21 US.

Rob,
just in case you have missed the posts, a lot of us use "Blu-tak" or similar, to attach a sheet of Black Kraft paper (or similar) to the lid of the scanner.

Brings a lot of Philatelic items into sharper focus.
