"New" Kent Cinderella stamp surfaces.

In the 1940s Rockwell Kent was heavily involved in a fraternal labor organization called the International Workers Order (IWO). After World War II the IWO began a milk fund drive to help destitute and starving children in Europe, primarily Eastern Europe. Members could get stamps and stamp books from the IWO headquarters. The Rockwell Kent Forum has owned a copy of the stamp for several years, but was unsure it was by Kent. My friend Scott Ferris owns the illustrated Milk Fund brochure, which is from his collection and reproduced with his kind permission. The brochure confirms that Kent designed the stamp. The editor would be interested in seeing the stamp book. More information on Kent's other Cinderella stamps can be found under the Special Collections tab at the Rockwell Kent Forum website. www.rockwellkent.us

A Rockwell Kent mystery. Hello stamp friends. A few years ago I bought a book called "The Rainbow" by the Polish-Russian author Wanda Wasilewska. It was published in 1943. Glued inside I found a small, stamp-like sticker reproducing a drawing by Rockwell Kent from his first book, "Wilderness." As you can see, the printing is very good, being a reduction from the original. I think it is gummed, and does not look like it was cut. Have any of you seen anything like it? The people I know in the Rockwell Kent world did not know anything about it. Many thanks!
