AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very curious and highly rare vignette of private initiative and a reivindicative character, issued at the beginning of the 20th century by the letter carriers’ union. It depicts a swallow in flight surrounded by the text NO REPARTIR/EN DOMINGO.

Its rarity is increased by the value it adds to postal history, since it is on a small fragment and postmarked with an authentic San Sebastián postmark, 3 May 1903, which shows that it circulated and was used as postage.

Not seen in any catalogue.
