Default Ecuador ID nat def and tobacco.

Hi Rodney.

The first two stamps are excise-revenue-fiscal and I know absolutely nothing
about them.

The third stamp shows the Monastery of the Assumption in Cuenca in the
province of Azuay. The town of Cuena (actually Santa Ana of the Four Rivers
of Cuenca) was founded in the late 1600s by a Spanish chappie (Gil Dávalos)
who named it after his home town in Spain. The Monastery of El Carmén (at
least, the church) as it is affectionately known, was one of the first
buildings to go up. The stamp was issued on January 2, 1956.

Hope this helps.
