Conquering the world one stamp at a time

A couple pages like this were in a collection I bought. Been trying to research them but haven't found anything like them. One person suggested they were just "fantasies", made up by an individual. The cancels are, for the most part, purple which tells me they might be fiscal in origin.
Anyone have any clues?

I am quite sure that Guatemala never used it's postage stamps as revenues (at least not without an overprint indicating as such).

I agree with the opinion that these are philatelic fantasies.

The bottom one has a Consular Office cancel. Might be off a passport or other diplomatic document.

It's interesting, most have that circular, purple cancel, and the stamps add up to the same amount on many.....8 centavos (face) or 4 centavos (as a bisect).

re: Guatemala bisects ?

The Guatemala postal service was always running out of the correct denomination..it was quite common for local post offices to bisect stamps to arrive at the proper postage.
