I've seen those flags before, in a bok called "Banderas oficiales y revolucionarias de Cuba" by Emilio Roig de Leuchsenring edited back in 1950, in Havana by the Municipio de la Habana

Nuevitas

by Jose C. Alegria 7 November 1999

There were many changes in the maritime provinces until our days, due to independence of some countries and to administrative reorganization of the provinces. The first one is the creation of a new province in Cuba, called Nuevitas around 1851.

Flag of 4 September 1933

'Das Grossen Flaggenbuch' describes the 'flag of the 4th September 1933'. It is a 2:1 flag made of five equal vertical bands: blue, white, red, yellow and green. It was hoisted along with the National flag by the Army, the Navy and the Police. The 4th September 1933 is the end of the dictatorship of Machado.

Some questions about that:

1. Is this flag still in used ? Comparing 'Das Grossen Flaggenbuch' with 'Album des Pavillons', I noticed that several Cuban flags were not changed by Castro (including the national flag. The presidential flag just received two additional stars.)

2. What is the origin of the 4th September flag ? I suppose it was inspired by the French tricolour, but the two additional colours are not 'Cuban'.
