Panama 1935 Christopher Columbus Unissued Set

Panama · 1935 · 1/2c to 1B

This unissued set of ten airmail stamps commemorates Christopher Columbus's fourth voyage. The designs feature various scenes related to his exploration, including portraits of Columbus, his ships, and maps of the regions he visited. The set was printed by the American Bank Note Company but was never officially released for postal use.

Prepared in 1935, these stamps were intended to be issued but were ultimately withheld. Unissued stamps like these are of great interest to collectors as they represent a part of postal history that never came to be.
