Dr Schlincks Palmin has been around for over 100 years. You can still buy it today as a coconut oil or fat for cooking. These advertising stamps might suggest that it had wider uses at some stage (?). Date unknown but probably early 20th Century.  |

Otto Enke of Cottbus IN 1900 Otto Enke acquired a factory in Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany. He founded a book factory with a large bookbinding shop and a printing shop. The site expanded over the years and was shared with the regional newspaper. At the end of World War II as part of the reparations under the Potsdam Conference, Germany was to pay the Allies US$23 billion mainly in machinery and manufacturing plants. This included the dismantling of the book factory in Cottbus. These advertising stamps promoted various stationery products. The factory is depicted on the last stamp.  |

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) was a polymath and a philosopher, mathematician and scientist. He mastered Latin by the age of 12, enrolled at the University of Leipzig aged 14 and wrote his first book aged 19. He spent his last 40 years in Hanover. However, this is actually part of an advertising series of stamps for Leibniz biscuits produced by Bahlsen in Hanover and simply named after one of Hanover's most famous residents. Note the incorrect date of his death.  |

A very attractive lot of these poster stamps. Founded in 1883, they still exist today based in Tutzing. They provide healthcare, education and social services to their members.

DSF, Society for German-Soviet Friendship (Gesellschaft für Deutsch Sowjetische Freundschaft) DSF emerged from the Society for the Study of the Culture of the Soviet Union (founded in 1947) in 1949. Its aim, as the name suggests, was to promote a greater understanding of Soviet Culture in East Germany. Membership effectively became compulsory and by 1989 the Society had a membership of 6.4 million. After German Re-unification membership fell to 20,000 and it ceased to exist by 1992. This sheet is entitled Kultur Brücke der Freundschaft, Culture Bridge of Friendship. It mentions that 'If you send a postcard to your district's office by September 30, 1990, you will be a participant in a drawing'. So we can date the sheet to that year. It depicts Soviet and German architecture, art, film, newspapers and propaganda.  |

Here are three Cinderellas from Germany for The German Protection Association Against The Foreign Legion, Munich. I showed one previously at this link. Desertions were very common and the German Protection Association was very active in its stance against The Foreign Legion. The stamps depict the brutality of being in The Foreign Legion. This is an example of a legal case at The Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague (125 years old this year) which heard a case in 1908 when six deserters from the French Foreign Legion sought protection from the German Consulate in Casablanca. When the deserters were being moved to a German vessel at the port, the French military intervened and arrested them. Ultimately, the court found in favour of France see this link |

Thanks for posting. I found a few on eBay … only a few. They’ll make a nice addition to my collection. Update: daniel ... I got this in the mail yesterday. Thanks again for the information about these very interesting poster stamps.  |

A nice lot of German Cinderellas. The first two, despite the English, are German and are overprinted J D Toebes, possibly a Dutch dealer in ephemera. Next are two more stamps for my Munchausen collection with coffee advertising along the top. The second row depicts a religious stamp with the text translating as "Mary with the child so dear to all give your blessing". Then there are 3 stamps in a Robinson Crusoe set with blank cartouches at the top for advertising . In the third row, there is another stamp for my Lanshuter Hochzeit (wedding) of 1475 and celebrated in Landshut every few years. Then 2 advertising stamps for a ledger cabinet and shoe cream. Finally, stamps from Carl Mez & Sons founded in 1785, they made machines for knitting yarn and sewing thread and now part of Levito AG of Switzerland. The last stamp relates to Westermanns Monatshefte magazine publishers.  |

This sheet, seemingly produced in 1959, is 'a series of cover stamps with pictures from Central and Eastern Germany'. Pre-reunification, it is titled "It Should Be the Whole of Germany".   |

Thanks for those! I immediately recognized the second picture on the top row, the Greifswald Rathaus, as I lived a block away from it for several years. It's been repainted in red in 1998, by the way.
