This is one stamp out of a set of five (nine if you include the airmail stamps).
It is an unissued 1935 set of stamps in honour of Columbus, promoted by the Pan-American Columbus Society and approved by Law Decree No. 344 of October 1935. The stamps were produced in Belgium.
For some reason they were never placed in circulation.
Here are some pictures I found on various auction sites. The complete set is regularly offered for $10. Also available with "muestra" (specimen) overprint.
Hi, a friend asked me about theese Cuban stamps but I can´t find them in Scott or Michel. I have seen one old ad about selling but not more than that.
Anyone that can give us some input?
