Please post here any Cinderellas you may have from Austria. First up is a strip of 1912 Underwriters Fund seals on pink paper. They also exist on light Violet paper. On these I have no other info thus far.

Here is a poster stamp for the 1913 Adriatic Exposition: It seems that the goal was to create a slice of Adriatic life in Vienna, so everything from replica buildings to entire street scenes were built in Vienna, along with an artificial lake. Apparently, it was kind of a big deal. One of the attractions was a 40m tall replica of the Campanile.

I came across this one in my piles of stuff a while back and don't recall whether I still have it someplace, or whether it was sent away to somebody else. So, I nabbed the image from a Delcampe seller. ha ha The beautiful and exceedingly vain Empress Elisabeth of Austria. I think this label was to benefit tuberculosis care. Ryan

The question mark is because I'm not sure. I'm assuming they are Hungarian by what looks like St. Stephen's crown, which appears on a number of early Hungarian stamps. Experts?

Not an expert, but I'd say it's the Imperial Crown of Austria. 1848 was the year of Emperor Franz Joseph's accession to the throne, the reaction to a Hungarian revolution that year. The Imperial Crown has those things (large irregular pearls, I think) sticking upright at the sides of the mitre, whereas St. Stephen's crown has the cross on top tilted at an angle. In 1915, a joint coat-of-arms was designed to show both Austrian and Hungarian arms and crowns, shown below. The labels are charity labels to feed and clothe poor school children. Ryan

right you are Ryan. The St Stephen was pretty small on the stamp image in the catalogue, and I think at that size they looked pretty similar. Thanks for the info on the labels. edit- guess I should have checked my little Austrian collection.

In Vienna in June, 1908 there were major celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef, and there were around 10 different poster stamps issued to commemorate this. This stamp exists in 3 color combinations - the two pictured here, plus green and gold. Ryan's comments about the purpose of the funds raised is correct.

Here's an Austrian Pro Juventute label with a Christmas theme that I came across in last night's search through a random worldwide mix. Ryan

Was going to post this pretty little label under 'religious' or 'unknown' but when I flipped it over to scan I found printing on the back: Druck d. Gesellschaft fur graph. Industrie Wien VI. Show Saint Maria is Austrian. 1911

Must have filed it away without really looking. 2 heller label for WWI fund for widows and orphans of the war. One gets a headache trying to sort that one. Looks Like kk Schutzen Regiments 21 exist for Lower Austria, or Bohemian (Czech) (Uniform specialists would probably identify) There is a kuk Regiment 12 cinderella on SCF. The frame design looks like Poinsettias (Flowers) which may indicate Christmas. (Not a pleasant vignette however) Of the assault battalions which had been formed from one company each of the four regiments within the division, the following belonged to the k.k. Schützen (Landwehr): Nr.13, 21, 22, 26, 43, 44, 45, 46, 54 and 56. www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/infdev.htm

Mistakingly put these in the Germany thread, but was gently corrected, for which I am grateful. Graz is a town in south eastern (roughly) Austria.
These seem to be part of a series of at least 6. There are a couple of different version on ebay. Varying colour and fonts.

While the central vignette of this Austrian poster stamp refers to the 1913 Adriatic Exhibition in Vienna, it seems to be promoting Karl Körner, an Austrian stamp trader (dealer) who was one of the co-founders of the Austrian stamp traders' association in 1906.

Although I don't "have" this Cinderella, it was on a cover I saw online, I should have purchased it but at least I saved the image..... "Donate for the Ostmark-reserve (funds).....Not one foot of German soil can be allowed to be lost" referring to "Ostmark", the German-speaking part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which became Austria following WWI.

You tell me Kampf dem krebs = fight the cancer - according to google translate Yes, this is a stamp for a lottery ticket to help fund cancer research at the University of Vienna and directed towards Austrian radio listeners ("rundfunkhörer"). The back of the stamp states the prizes can be won, including these Ford cars that were the big prizes, but also various home electronics and associated furniture, with a total prize value of over 2 million Schilling.

Recently I was the successful high-bidder (actually the only bidder!) on this Austrian "play stamp". I believe they were used early last century to teach children how to apply stamps to and write letters, as I have a similar one on cover from Germany!

Some Early stamps of Austria were printed in sheets of 240, with four panes of 64 clichés. To ensured that a pane of stamps cost a multiple of Gulden, (there was only 60 Kreuzer to a Gulden), there were four empty fields per pane. To make it impossible to use these blank, perforated squares in the manufacture of forgeries or counterfeit stamps, the authorities sometimes printed " Andrew's Crosses" (Andreaskreuze) with an X. These are quite sought-after by collectors and can be very expensive....especially if still attached to the stamp, on cover!
Sometimes the "crosses" were white in a field of color (same color of the issued stamp) such as these:

The above Andreas Crosses are in a nice collection mounted in a Scott Specialty album I bought a few years ago. On the pages were written tiny notations that the Michel catalogue value (no year for their valuing was given) was, in German Marks; 700.00 for the yellow, 300.00 Marks for the brown (which look to me like red!) and 200.00 Marks for the blue ones. I don't know what year they were valued, but Michel tends to be on the high-to-very-high side compared to Scott's.
All I know is I've never seen them for sale before! (But then, I haven't really been looking, until now!)
