As the thread's subject suggests, my "go to" source for stamp/cinderella identification has let me down on these items.  The image of who I assume to be Holy Roman Emporer Maximilian I (1459-1519) on these stamps appears to have derived from the Albrecht Dürer portrait. Any background that can be provided will be appreciated. |

Hi Steve Admin, The logo looks like a mock up of Durer’s signature and I read it as “KA BE “A brand of German Stamp Albums. May be a red herring or lead to something . |

There's this really great forum out there called The Stamp Forum, see here from LB1. I'm not even going to draw your attention to a like from tomiseksj , it was 6½ years ago  Daniel |

Thank you to both vikingeck and daniel for helping me with this identification. As to my forgeting that I had seen these items before in Londonbus1 's related post back in 2017, I can only offer that I'm old and forgetfullness comes with the territory. Also, if only that great forum had an image search function I might have been able to answer my own question.  However, I believe that my quest and the information provided by Alex's ebay image have allowed me to clear up LB1's "confusion" regarding the label with the kiss on the cheek. As I now understand, KABE's double album allows for collecting both mint and used so the "kiss" is likely intended to represent a "cancellation." Without objection, I'd like to merge all the posts from this thread into LB1's 2017 thread. |

Without objection, I'd like to merge all the posts from this thread into LB1's 2017 thread. And perhaps change the heading to properly identify 'Google' as the search function used :-)  Dave |

Don't feel bad tomiseksj. Getting old graceful needs to be our goal. If we slip a few cogs now and then we are still good to go. These are supposed to be our golden years but it seems to take a lot of gold to survive the retired years living on a very limited amount of money. Keep the faith and enjoy the hits not the slips.
Nick
