I found these in a 1$ world stamps packet.I did not find any information Online,only few online shops listing them as Turkish Cinderellas with no added info.
I figured they are Cinderellas when i read "Hediye" meaning Gift and "Pulu" meaning Stamp, with the O.print "76" ? The date of Issue ??
Tip: When in Turkey, always ask for your after-sale "Hediye"  !! |

Cute...
They're Turkish cinderellas. I've got a bunch - sellers sometimes include them w/purchases. Not much info to offer beyond what you already know. I've never really looked that closely - I always thought they were initials - "FG" or "HG" - which I assumed was the name of the enterprising person who created them - but I suppose could be numbers as well?? 76 would actually fit with my idea of when they were issued, so makes sense...
Enjoy your hediyes? (Hediyelar?!?)

Could the letters in script be KC? Those are the letters printed in the corners of each stamp. I'm assuming that these are/were the Turkish equivalent of S&H Green Stamps and the other trading stamps found here in the U.S. and elsewhere. |

Regarding image recognition/recall, take a look at www.tineye.com -- it's not too sophisticated, but it's free, and now and then it provides key information. I use it more for postcards than for stamps. It's also useful for detecting doctored-up images. |

I'm not aware of any problems with the sign-in and there is no setting that would restrict you to being able to post in a single thread.

Now I have another 'Penny Black' question !
I have found this and would like to know if anyone has seen it before or knows where it comes from. Most likely produced for the centenary in 1940 as stated, it feels 'old'.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I have solved another one of my mysteries !! Yay !!  Actually, it's been solved by the latest addition of Morgan & Wilson's, 'British Philatelic Exhibitions' catalogue which has recently gone online at the GBPS website. A letter sent by a Mr.A.Walker of Glasgow, Scotland to the now defunct British Magazine, Stamp Collecting in December 1973 in reply to a query in a previous issue appears to have solved what was, apparently, a long-standing mystery. The writer's Brother, James produced these privately in 1939 as Christmas Gifts to his Philatelic Friends. He did all the work himself including the etching of the copper plates and the Printing. He did the actual inking with his finger !! Printed in Photogravure. Number of copies is not known. It had made this item from the Mystery of some years into something rather special, even if it is not an Exhibition item as first assumed. At least it did make it into the Catalogue !!! Londonbus1 |

Sorry that I can't be of more help on this question, but here is what I can say: the image on the stamp is clearly a battle tank of World War I era. You can see from the photo below that this much is correct. World War II and later tanks looked much different. So, I think that we can at least specify the era. The images look strangely familiar to me, though, so I will keep my eyes open in case I see it again.... Edit: And of course "TANK" is written in English, so I am thinking it seems like it should be a British issue....  |

Just my WAG, but could they be intended as game pieces?

Also note that all 4 images are slightly different. Number of dots on the back, shape of clouds, size of red "fire," shading around the lettering. I would vote for game pieces too, to be cut out with scissors and deployed, purchased, or sold with the roll of the dice, etc.

So here are 3 in my collection of overprinted German inflation stamps. I keep a scan of the description, but certainly would love verification as to what the write up stated. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I have a number of overprinted inflation era stamps, but these have always been a mystery to me!

This lonesome Unkown Cindy was in a rather large lot of mostly Europe and colonies I acquired recently....it fell to the back of the album so I have no idea WHICH country it might be from.  If I were to guess, maybe Netherlands or its colonies. Any ideas???? |

Steve (Tomisek)
Thank you! Strange since the album it was wedged into only had European stamps! I have found all sorts of stuff where it doesn't belong. This I think is my first Back-of-the-Book (B.O.B.) from Dominican Republic, so off it goes to its new home!

These Persian (Iran) Cinderellas were in a collection picked up recently won at auction, they were likely the best things in the albums, as there were plenty of reprints from the classic era. Does anyone have an idea what they could be--I was thinking just pretty embellishments for an album!?!?! Nothing in my brain can make heads nor tails of anything in Farsi!!!  Thanks in advance for any info on these curious labels! --Jim Wentzell stampguyaps177-681 |

Steve,
Thanks for the quick response! I'm happy they are in such great shape for being about 128 years old...and delighted to add the first fiscals/B.O.B. from Persia into my rather modest collection of that area!

These are Japanese manufacturer inspection labels
The blue one is some product verification label
The red one is a probably from a porcelain toiletry accessories company
I have seen a catalog for these and many are probably in the 1945-65 period

OK, here's a stamp I have been wanting to identify for a long time. I came across it over the holidays, and managed to scan it for posting. I picked it up in a mixture years ago, and it has been sitting in a stock book for years awaiting disposition. I have the impression that it is a Red Cross charity label, and it has something akin to a postmark on it, from which I can just make out the words "Croix Rouge", which is Red Cross in French, so I think I am on the right track there. Otherwise, no clue, as there is no denomination or country name. I wonder if it could be from Belgium or Switzerland or something, as it does not look French to me, somehow. Any comments welcome!  |

Post by sherro on Jan 10, 2019 11:51:17 GMT
It is actually French. The full postmark says Croix Rouge Francaise Section Philatelique, with a red cross in the centre, and I'd say it's WWI vintage
