Not catalogued embossing paper at nº 927s

EMBOSSING PAPER FOR 1940 50cts.

 

 

          I have recently received a pair of Edifil nº 927 imperforated 50cts. with General Franco motive. This set is known to have a lot of podsible varieties and of course not all are described in specialized catalogues. It is formed by 17 different colour stamps all showing General Franco face, perforation size 91/2 and 101/2 and White paper.

 

 

 

           As we have said before, if you like to collect varieties, this is your set of stamps. Fifteen of the seventeen stamps are known to exist imperforated. It is possible to get printing errors, different perforation sizes, proofs or changed colours. But we are going to foucs on ppaper varieties. Appart from the usual white paper, the specialized catalogues describe other three types of paper:

 

 

 

1.- Thin yellow paper called "delmeina".

 

2.- Stucco paper.

 

3.- Carton paper.

 

 

          

          Now we can add another type of paper as you can see in the pair of stamps whose image is under this lines. It is a blue carton paper with pores called embossing paper ("gufraux" in French and "gofrado" in Spanish).

 

 

 

 

 

 

         I'd like to thank everyone who read this blog and I hope this contribution to be helpful to those who collect Spanish stamps. Every comment from you will be welcomed.
