Note on the stamps of El Salvador from 1890 to 1899: The printer of the stamps (Seebeck) kept the printing plates of the stamps issued during this period. He issued numerous 'reprints' after the stamps were obsolete. These reprints are known as Seebeck issues.
A nice website with stamps of El Salvador can be found at: http://www.seymourfamily.com/Stamp_Collecting.htm.
