Not listed in Scott. Listed in Edifil ( numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 )
Issued 1874 and 1897
This is from a very old Spanish Scott Album, with commentary in Spanish.
Here is a link to a Wiki reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Libe ...
Photos from my album follow:
I am curious about this old Scott album in Spanish. The album was purchased in the flee market of Havana, Cuba, a very long time ago, and serves to house my Colonial Cuba collection to 1899-1900. It uses the same border as the Scott Specialty border, but is is red brown and not black. I have never seen any references to Scott publications in Spanish.
Anyone with any knowledge on the subject?

That is really fascinating! I don't see anything in Scott or SG mentioning this.
This reminds me of a recent trip to Cozumel. I was waiting in the lobby of a hotel to meet up with my dive party and saw a few coffee table books. They were all in Spanish, and my ability to read Spanish is quite limited, but I picked up a book on the history of Mexico and I can assure you that their take on what happened at the Alamo is nothing like what you were taught in grammar school!

The two "local" stamps are not from Cuba. Is an issue from Mexico - 1893, here one pic along with other similar emissions.

Thanks Rodolfo. You are probably right....The eagle looks very similar.
But I wonder if it could still be Spanish Cuban, copying a Mexican design since it came with a few other Fiscal and local Cuban stamps, when I received them I struggled with these two before! Fiscal without a catalog always has me puzzled.

Hello Rrraphy,
I don't think Cuba was given permission to copy the design since it is the Coat of Arms of Mexico during the time of President Porfirio Diaz. They are not fiscal, they are seals/labels created to seal the back of envelopes. Many were certified mail that during the Dictatorship were opened and then sealed with those labels to avoid problems. Later they were used at the will of the sender to seal their envelopes. In cases of envelopes that arrived damaged, they were put in plastic bags and the label was added, sealing it as well.
