Venezuelan unknown stamp

Hello again,

http://cjoint.com/?0DwbUzuhFXA

This is a Venezuelan stamp I can't find in the Scott catalog nor in the
Aurelio Blanco Quintanilla's. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Pedro

Hi Pedro

Scott is a POSTAGE STAMP catalogue. Venezuelan postage stamps usually
are inscribed «Correos». Stamps not inscribed «Correos» are most often,
as in this case, fiscal stamps. There should be a fiscal, also called
«Revenue», stamp catalogue for Venezuela. A simple Google search will
allow you to find it.

Thank you very much for the information, Richard. I know Scott is a postage
stamp catalog. The problem was I thought this was a postal stamp. I did not
imagine otherwise. I did not catch on the "correos" thing.

best wishes,
Pedro

Pedro:

Please note that SOME non-postal stamps were allowed for postal use
and
not every stamp used for postage is inscribed CORREOS.

Before July 1, 1895 (and since 1892) stamps inscribed ESCUELAS or
INSTRUCCION were valid for domestic postage or revenue purposes.
International postage used stamps inscribed CORREOS.

Early Venezuela is quite confusing.

CORRECTION

This stamp is Scott #246 (July 5 , 1905)
There were 3 stamps (5c, 10c, 25c) in the set
which was used by the National
Congress (parliament) on its domestic mail.
They were only used for 90 days.

The illostration in scott is very faint
and it can be easily overlooked.

Hi Pedro:

Here is a scan of the full National Congress set,
for your information.

It also shows the great variety of shades in
Venezuelan stamps of that period.

Very useful scan as a color reference. I've almost finished making my album
sheets for Venezuela Simón Bolívar stamps. It has taken a lot of time
checking colors, information on catalogs, distinguishing fiscal stamps from
postage ones, minor differences in frames, perforations...

By the way, talking about perforations, There exist more perforations in
the Bolívar stamps than the ones Scotts references
