Hello all,

I have the stamps from Melilla - Spain which I believe are Spanish Locals.
I've no idea as to the value of these and was wondering if anyone could push
me in the right direction. The pairs are all tete-beche. Picture of stamps
is linked to below :

They are Spanish Military Franchise stamps from 1893.

In 1893 the Rif berbers besieged Melilla, and 25,000 men
had to be dispatched against them.

Note the numbers in the corners of the stampshttp://i6.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/cd/bd/0775_1.JPG

There are numerous varieties.http://cjoint.com/data/cwtFpSf1do.htm

I saw your stamp offered on eBay for US $5 but there were no bidders.
