The Stamps And Labels Of Spain.

All of the above are from the fascist side.

Hi Rod.
I was thinking about the classification of vignettes and it is difficult for me, I imagine that for you as a foreigner it must be much more difficult. I also tell you that you are mixing tax stamps with bullets on your sheets. Pharmacy and Diputación are tax stamps.
It must be said that all the provinces and many localities issued patriotic and charity stamps, so if you open a folder for each one, you will have thousands. Huévar is a town in Seville.
The truth is that I don't know how to approach a classification of vignettes but I will try to list the ones I know, in case it helps you. Just as a reminder because more vignettes have been issued than postage stamps.

I did this from memory and I have not differentiated those of the Spanish Republic from those of the Spanish State.
There will be some that contemplate more than one concept and there are those with face value and without face value.
Of course some concept may escape me and that this itself admits other or many more divisions, it is just a note to help.
I've got some charity stamps from the Post Office, if you want them.
Regards.

Hi Roberto,




I only collect what passes my desk, swaps etc, so dedicated ID, must pass
Very simple recognition with ease of location.
Ergo, it may not sit well with native speakers, but new collectors,
should easily master it.

Funny you should mention it, but "DIPUTATION" issues I have just segregated

I have a work in progress, If it takes a 1000 folders, no problems
IT Hardrives can handle anything these days

Here is my latest Hierarchy, the one problem I have is with "HOGAR ESCUELA" (Home School )
That does not make sense to me.

Any stamps you do not mind sharing, are always welcomed.
Thanks for your observations

Home School ?
(All inscribed Hogar Escuela)

I think of Hogar Escuela as "orphanage" or "boarding school".

Robert

Normally catholic schools for the education and evangelisation of orphaned children.

The ones in the top row are from 1937, for the schools for orphaned children of postal workers.
Bottom left also, but 1934.

Well that's nice, on a stamp by Velasquez ..."Bacchus and the Drunks"

Clearly, those for postal workers were a social institution.

The Velasquez one is part of a series. The Prado Museum of Madrid has a page (in Spanish) dedicated to them. There is a pdf at the bottom of the text. The PDF shows sheets of the stamps in the series (1938).

Another one in Spanish with a link to a PDF with further information on these stamps.

Thanks Robert, NSK,
those links were valuable, I had been wondering why I had a Pmk of 1927
Fuente Del Maestra (Badajoz)
expecting most labels around 1936 onwards.

Anyhow, it has become obvious my present naming convention is not suitable.

I am going to alter to a parent folder "Spain Back of Book"
(In preference to Miscellany)

I'll include all variation Charity, Diputations et al, under the one heading.
It is folly for me to translate into English for folder titles.
The aim is to find seals / labels / stamps with 1 click,
ergo, I'll attempt to have a Identifiable Spanish text string included with each folder.

Out with this....


Problems with the old naming convention, miss spelled labels of Loxa
aka Loya aka Loja require it to be in the string.

The generic (I presume) Assoc de Caridad (Charitable org) Obligatory franking, likewise.

Hello.
Those Velázques stamps were printed in 3 formats; Republic, Spain and those of Republic crossed out and with Eagle in 1941. The first ones were not issued, the Republic lost the war.
They exist in sheet and block sheet.
Regards.

Velázques ends with Z, but I can't write it here; The system tells me that I am trying to sell something.

Segways to irritations I find in some catalogues,
one cannot search for names with diacritics in some catalogues.
Searches fail.

I found that with the umlauts of Turkey
