I'm sure others have some of these in their collections as well. While working on my Colombia collection I gathered a bunch of these stamps from the Colombian department (or State) of Tolima, with pen cancels from various cities. Most of the ones I have I've been able to identify, but I still have a few that I cannot. Here are 2. I'll upload the others tomorrow night. These both look, to me, like they are shorthand versions of longer names.

Would love some help in identifying them. I'd also like to see others that people might have.

Hi.
First one is probably Ambalema,second one could be Chaparral.
And here is one from Espinal (in Tolima Dept too)

Yes, Ambalema seems to fit. I thought about Chaparral, but wasn't sure since there are many other cities that start with Ch. But being a comparatively large city, and located in Tolima, it makes sense.

Thank you for the help, and thank you for posting the Espinal example. With your example I was able to identify 2 of mine, also from Espinal.

Here are some more that I think are correct.

Both of these I believe may be different versions of Ambalema as well.



This one, I'm thinking Coyaima? Maybe?

"Coyaima" seems to fit perfectly.
