Description
This is a green postage stamp from Ecuador, issued in 1939. It features the Mision Dolores in San Francisco, California, commemorating the International Exposition of the Golden Gate. The stamp has a denomination of 2 centavos and the text "Correos del Ecuador" along the top.
History
The stamp commemorates Ecuador's participation in the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco, a world's fair celebrating the city's new bridges. This event aimed to showcase the progress and culture of Pacific Rim nations and beyond, making this stamp a small piece of both Ecuadorian postal history and international cultural exchange from that era.
Facts
The Mision Dolores, also known as Mission San Francisco de Asís, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco, making its inclusion on this stamp a nod to historical significance. The choice to feature a Californian landmark on an Ecuadorian stamp highlights the international scope of the exposition it commemorates.
Value Fact
Stamps from Ecuador like this one, commemorating specific historical events or expositions, are generally of moderate collector interest. The 1939 issue, particularly in good condition, can attract collectors of Latin American stamps or those interested in fair and exposition-themed philately. Demand is steady, with prices typically ranging from a few dollars to potentially higher for exceptionally well-preserved examples.
