This is all I have of the famous Portuguese propellor airmail series. If anybody has a more complete collection or better examples, please post them, as they fit here very well.  |

Semi-postal? It is an ordinary postage stamp, not half a postage stamp. |

I don't get it. Semi-postal means that part of the cost of the stamp was for postage, and the other part (after the +) is for something else, like a charity. |

Yes. That is the one. Not currently in my collection, unfortunately. You wouldn't happen to be familliar with a gel brand called Wella? I think that this stamp design resembles their old logo, if they still use it, I don't know. |

It is an American terminology used for charity stamps. Most continental European and Scandinavian countries issued such stamps. Some countries either issued definitives or charity stamps. The charity stamps were the standard on postage. |
