I was sorting thru a pile of the same stamps looking for a good one about 25 of them when a pattern caught my eye, buried in them was a puzzle not the greatest stamps of the lot, but a fun find and I thought the cuban cancel was cool.

I agree. I would be tempted to mount them just like that to preserve the cancellation. The cancellation itself is a nice oval one. If I am not mistaken this is an semi-official cancellation from the nationalized electric company office in the city of Cueto, situated on the far eastern end of the island. If my guess is correct, it says accross the top of the cancel, "Electric Accounts of Cueto". These stamps were in charge of covering the cost of sending someone's electric bill.

I always like a reconstructed block. It helps with plating too.
