Heh! That is our evil intention................ You can be Americanbus1. FroggieI bought a box lot from "Revenue Collector" SCF forum, a few years ago, over $100 which was a drain on my budget at the time, but the material was of such a class, I couldn't pass it up. It was one man's collection, pasted on highly toning graph paper, so I am just passing on his heritage, and all collectors for that matter, without whom, we wouldn't have this material. I have always believed Cinderellas, whilst not having a great deal of Elitist philatelic currency, still reflect a country and how it was as that time. It's importance, like a valued wine, gains with the elapsed years. That's why it is important to collect modern grunge, years hence, people shall appreciate it. Thanks for your appreciation.

Anyone know a date for this Chicago Blind service association? These are tough without a Catalogue (Greens catalogue?) If you need a place to put them, I use a folder "US Disability Campaigns 1930-1960" encompasses, polio, asthma, crippled children and the like.

Anyone know a date for this Chicago Blind service association? These are tough without a Catalogue (Greens catalogue?) If you need a place to put them, I use a folder "US Disability Campaigns 1930-1960" encompasses, polio, asthma, crippled children and the like. These are listed in "Mosbaugh's U.S. All Funds Seal Catalog", originally published in 1962 by R. C. Mosbaugh. It is in 12 parts, updated by various editors in the 1970s and 80s (plus Easter seals in 2009). It is available from the Christmas Seal and Charity Stamp Society, either in printed (looseleaf pages) format or on CD. They also have the Greens Christmas Seal catalogs, Mosbaugh's Red Cross Seals catalog, plus other cinderella lierature. Check them out at: www.seal-society.org/literature.htm Oh - the stamps are listed as Mosbaugh #400.02.a & .b (1944); 400.03.a & .b (1945-46); or 400.04.a & .b (1947). Which one depends on the color shade - .02 is "carmine & blue"; .03 is "red & light blue"; .04 is "red & darker blue". Hard to determine which is which without others to compare.

Thanks Ray, very helpful. Mr. Denune sent me a free CDRom of seals, and I found his catalogue system clunky and very hard to navigate. How do you find the Mosbaugh's catalogue ? do you have it on CD?

Hi Rod, I have the Mosbaugh printed version. I bought it many years ago. I have the pages in a 2" D-ring looseleaf binder, and use it on a regular basis. It is possibly in my top 10 most frequently used cinderella reference books. It is pretty easy to find stuff in it because it has a very good index. I have no idea how easy to use the CD version might be. I have always found digital catalogs much more difficult to use than printed ones. It seems that most digital catalogs are simply digitized images of printed catalogs, which does not make use of the best features of a computer - data searching and indexing. That is one of the reasons I have taken so long in "planning" my Danish cinderella catalog. I just have not seen a digital catalog format that is worth emulating so far.

Cheers Ray, Can be done successfully, but CD is prone to widespread illegal copying. Seven Seas Australia put out a Cinderella CDRom many years ago, just black and white scans of printed pages, but searchable text. The Scott Catalogue 2009 is the pinnacle of CDRom technology, has made my WW collecting an enjoyable exercise, but I recognise the financial backing behind such a production.

No matter how it's done, unless you are a major publisher with big resources, you're not going to get rich producing stamp catalogs. I have never been particularly interested in doing it for the money, so copying a CD wouldn't bother me. My own project has two main goals - 1) I want to create a concise catalog of my own collection, as well as a want-list. So when I go to a stamp show I can bring it with me as a "shopping checklist". 2) I have a huge accumulation of duplicates, and the best way to generate interest in them is if there is a catalog available. Collectors are much more apt to collect when they have some guideline as to what is out there.

Two Exposition Chemical Industries (name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!) held in New York. One in 1925, the other has no year, but dates are different, so I figure different year. These beautiful poster stamps are quite large, the bigger one is 2.75 inches high!

Ah, I see. Thanks once again Rod. Though I notice my labels lack the PPP logo that appear on the lower corners of cindymans examples in the other post. I realize that may not make a difference, but something to consider.

A few US labels that came in a package today, recently won on ebay. More National Education Week One from 1942, the second with no year, but looks to be 1950s or early 60s.

The World in Boston - America's First Great Missionary Exposititon 1911. Interesting that its' perfed on three sides, considering how close together the stamp image is (see right side). I wonder if the perforations are faked.

KE VII stamp: part of a sheet of 72 stamps featuring "Miniature Portraits of the Rulers of the World, Nineteenth Century”. The sheet was first issued in the summer of 1914, as the original sheet has #10 Prince Alexander of Teck - Canada. On May 7, 1914 it was officially proclaimed that he would succeed the Duke of Connaught as Governor-General of Canada. However, with the onset of WWI in August, the Prince convinced his brother-in-law, King George V, to release him for military duty. He served with the British military throughout the war, and was promoted to honorary major general. In 1917, the King created him Earl of Athlone and Viscount Trematon. Lord Athlone was appointed Governor-General of the Union of South Africa in 1923, and upon his return to Britain acted as governor and constable of Windsor Castle and Chancellor of the University of London. In 1940, he was appointed Canada’s 16th Governor-General, in office from 1940-1946. After the war, he and his wife HRH Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, returned to Britain where they resided in Kensington Palace. The Earl of Athlone died there in 1957 and was buried at Frogmore Royal Burial Ground, Windsor. His wife survived until 1981, the oldest surviving grandchild of Queen Victoria. The sheet of 72 stamps including #10 Prince Alexander of Teck must have been from the first printing done in the summer of 1914, as most sheets, presumably from subsequent printings done after the onset of WWI, have a portrait of Frederick of Baden on the #10 stamp. It is thus actually a set of at least 73 stamps!
