I don't collect Oranges on stamps/Cinderellas so cannot contribute that much but I know it will be an interesting topic. Living in Israel, I have orange trees all around me and indeed went picking my daily juice today. It's the season ! In our garden we have an Orange Kumquat tree and it's lemon equivalent ! Here's an unfolded booklet (pane) from a few years ago. Oranges together with other popular fruit grown in Israel.  |

OMG Citrus rocks! LOVE this topical idea and appreciate the shared pics. I’m allergic to many fragrances, but lemon scented anything is perfection! I sometimes squeeze a fresh lemon on my hands after peeling garlic, or just to freshen the sink and garbage disposal. Fortunately, I live in Florida, citrus capitol of the Eastern USA. Too bad we don’t all live closer - I’d love to bake you all some of my lemon specialties! Yummmmmm

I have a postcard very similar to that one, but it is an orange meringue pie. I make lemon meringue quite often as it is my mother-in-law’s favorite. All those fresh squeezed lemons make the house smell wonderful. I also make lemon cookies, cakes, scones. Also orange cashew cookies, orange scones and more. My secret to adding citrus to scones is to let the zest rest in the grated sugar for an hour. Really brings out the citrus flavors. I just made this for lunch today and wrote it up - here’s a pic (my pic! Photographed for the recipe book I’m compiling) - LEMON 🍋 garlic shrimp aka shrimp Florentine. The gulf shrimp are excellent here.  |

Not all oranges are orange, especially in the fantasy world of Tintin,
in a film called "Tintin and the Blue Oranges" made in 1964, one of 10 subjects on this Belgian sheet from 2011.

Following the recent challenge, I looked through my French collection and found four stamps featuring citrus fruit, all self-adhesives from recent booklets. Here are first the booklet themselves, followed by zooms on the stamps of interest: ... Thank you for taking the time to look. Now I have something to search for. JeffS |

Live and learn. Allow me a confession; I never thought of the combination, stamp + orange. But you remind me of something vaguely related to oranges. What does a brilliant director do with a top French pop star when they run dry of ideas? Tie your orange-hair star to the front of a locomotive of the orange Fillmore and Western Railway and steam her through a California orange grove. But of course. Djibouti—my least favorite place on Earth—put her on stamp, sans oranges. Djibouti will stick anything on a stamp.

There is no word that rhymes with "orange",
Given your earlier post @ JeffS , it would appear that these labels did have an annual run; the question would be, for how many years did the Chamber of Commerce of the United States produce these and to what ends?
Happy collecting!

In yesterday's mail:
7th ANNUAL ORANGE BOWL FESTIVAL promotional label
Affixed to a PPC of the Hotel Miller in Miami, apparently as a hotel promotion for rooms during the festival. Note the label is tied by the machine postmark as well as a rubber stamp at bottom giving room rates. I found this gem in an eBay daily email search of the word "orange" in the post card section.
I couldn't be happier.

I should add, the orange cinderella stamp side wasn't shown in the listing at first, but later shown once inside the page and scroll down

Without doing a search, can anyone say why I would include
this butterfly stamp in my Oranges Philately collection?
