Received this booklet with a pane of 3 stamps in a recent U.S. back of book purchase. I'm assuming the "sweepstakes" they were associated with was U.S. in origin but can't be certain. Any information on these "12 Million Dollar Validation Stamps" would be appreciated. The pane of 3:  The booklet cover:  |

I found this block of labels when going through a lot of seals I purchased recently. From the National Rifle Association advocating the right of the people to keep and bear arms, the 2nd amendment to the U.S. constitution. No date, but probably late 20th century.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

I was flipping through my United States specialty album and came across this lovely sheet I forgot I even had. I suspect it is probably from the 1950’s or 60’s.  |

The 48-star U.S. flag was in use from July 4, 1912 to July 3, 1959. Disabled American Veterans Service Foundation was incorporated in 1931. That makes the window of usage somewhere between 1931 and 1959.

Mosbaugh (I-370E.04x) has this one undated, but there is a very similar sheet (I-160.01x) issued in 1944 by the Army and Navy Union.

Thanks for pointing that out, cindycan2 . I had never heard of the Army & Navy Union and was interested to learn that it is the oldest perpetual membership U.S. veterans organization, having been organized in 1886. |

The cinderella and seals lot that I purchased earlier this year contained one of the Tide Water Associate Oil Company albums. It is the second album of the series Roads to Romance Stamps of the West with illustrations and descriptions of the second series of Let's Get Associated labels number 101 to 200. The album is divided into twelve divisions: 1. Golden Gate International Exposition. 2. Historic Trails of the West. 3. The Early West. 4. Western Wild Life. 5. Birds of the West. 6. Flowers of the West. 7. Famous Trees of the West. 8. Nature's Oddities. 9. Man's Conquest of Nature. 10. A Land of Conquest. 11. Hawaiian Islands. 12. The Philippines. The album has a copyright notice dated 1939. In my example, only the first section of ten labels with scenes of the Golden Gage Exposition is completed. There are, however, scattered labels in the other categories. The labels are not hinged, however, it is a nice piece of philatelic ephemera from the early 1940s.
I've never collected either of these series, but it looks like I am going to have to make an effort. I probably won't try to complete the album, but I would like to have a complete set of both Let's Get Associated series.

stamphinger....let me know how much you find a set/sets for on your searches. Then get back to me before you bid/buy, I do believe I have a set 1-100 plus a bunch of others. It may well be a cheaper option !!  Londonbus1

Many thanks for the offer. I will remember it when I get around to looking for this cinderella series. I have many of them, but they are not inventoried and I need to find out what I have.

For my 500th post, 3 advertising Cinderellas, in different colours, from Cunard promoting Around The World trips for $498 First Cabin and $380 Second Cabin, presumably that's class. The Cunard S.S. (Steamship) Co. Ltd was the name of Cunard from 1879-1934. The address shown is 21-24 State Street, New York which they used from 1907-1921 when they moved to 25 Broadway, New York.
In addition, the first one has an overprint for Ward W Jacobs & Co., a steamship ticket agency.

I like the colour shift on the first one. It makes the dotted routes start and leave from different ports !! Neat.

Hello Rene,
Those Cinderellas are spectacular. I've never collected them but since joining TSF I've been exposed to their totally different Philatelic segment with some of the most gorgeous engravings and printings I've seen. It scares me to think of climbing the Cinderella slope but I might just... I'm a freak for exquisite engraving and fine printing (not just stamps).
The moment I saw this set, I thought of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase set, the colors are very close. I wonder if the Bureau of Engraving and Printing sold a few buckets of that ink to the American Banknote Company (just kidding)...

Two lots of Cinderellas for Oklahoma. I purchased the first lot of 8 from the USA then found the last 2 in the UK. Despite their similarity, they are actually different sets/part sets. Oklahoma City was settled on April 22nd 1889, when the area known as the "Unassigned Lands" was opened for settlement in an event known as "The Land Run". Some 10,000 homesteaders settled the area that would become the capital of Oklahoma. The first lot of 8 stamps, from 1939, marks the 50th anniversary of this event. The stamps are rouletted.
The next 2 stamps, which are perforated, but in the same style as the others, mark 'Oklahoma Country's Golden Anniversary, 1889-1939'. Later Oklahoma Country (or Territory) would merge with the Indian Territory to form the State of Oklahoma in 1907 and the Indian Territory would cease to exist. These 2 stamps honour actor, performer, writer and philatelist Will Rogers who was born in the Indian Territory.

An interesting Oklahoma set. I have been trying to confirm the origin and total number of stamps in this set for some time with no success. I have a block of fifteen that includes a few different than in your post. I am thinking fifteen are the total different stamps in the set, but I'm not sure. Anyone else have others??
Given the personalities and landmarks depicted, I believe this series commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Run of 1889 and the founding of Oklahoma City, i.e. 1889-1939. The city began in 1889 when the Unassigned Lands in central Indian Territory were opened to white settlement and Oklahoma City ultimately became the state capitol.
As you note, the other two red and black stamps surely are from a similar, but different series. I have none of that set and, indeed, have not seen them before. Don StampHinger  |

Hi Don, stamphinger , I knew they would appeal to you and good to know that you have that block of 15. That may be the set but who knows. I particularly like the Post Office and found this nice clear image on a postcard:  The second set is curious. When I purchased the pair, I thought they were just 2 more in the set but on closer inspection found that they referred to Oklahoma Country rather than City. They must have been a parallel set, slightly better produced with perforations. Have you enquired with The Oklahoma Historical Society on Facebook? Worth showing the stamps there in any case. Thanks, Daniel |

There has long been an East/West rivalry in Oklahoma and I am thinking that the red and black set may depict the eastern development of the state more thoroughly. Don't know, though, just speculation. Sure would like to see more of the red and black set and learn what is depicted on them.
Great post office pic, especially the boy with the rifle. I have not queried the historical society. Not my first go-to place for philatelic questions.

Don, Never underestimate The Oklahoma Historical Society  I thought it was worth a shot and emailed them with an enquiry with my scan attached. They duly replied with a cutting from The Oklahoma News from February 19th 1939, illustrated with some of the stamps. The cutting is copyright Newspapers dot com Ancestry so I don't think I can show it here but I'll send it you in a message. At the same time, I don't see why I can't just quote the whole article (when zooming in, the numbers become out of focus. So, I'm unsure if there are 15 or 18 different stamps in each book). Looking closer Don, you don't have one of my Oklahoma City stamps, the damaged one with the horse and rider. This stamp is imperforate top and right so there must be an additional column to the right of your examples and the left hand edge must have been attached to the booklet. So there must have been 18 different stamps in each booklet. Here is the article: Historical Stamps to Aid Jubilee A series of historical stamps depicting highlights in the growth of the city and state is the latest method adopted by the Chamber of Commerce Junior Division for advertising the City's Golden Jubilee and the Run of'89. The stamps are produced in two books of 180 stamps each. The first book is dedicated entirely to the growth of the City of Oklahoma and the second to historical episodes and characters of the whole state. Among the 18 different designs showing expansion can be found portraits of such renowned men as Jesse Chisolm, pioneer of the famous old trail which bore his name, W. L. Crouch, first mayor of the city; and David L. Payne. The stamps are printed in attractive, three colour deigns and sell for $1 a book. According to Dr. Hervey Foerster, Jaycee {Junior Chamber} president, it is hoped they will be placed on the majority of the tons of letters and mail going out of the city and state each day to points all over the nation - thereby calling attention to the city's remarkable growth and the celebration. All funds collected in excess of the cost of making the stamps will go into a general fund for advertising the 50th anniversary observance, Dr Foerster added. |

Great detective work! Yes, I grossly underestimated the state historical society. My "go to" person has yet to reply. 
I agree, there are eighteen different stamps in the series which means I have to continue looking for three more to complete my set. It also appears from your quote of the article that the second series is the red and black one and it must also have 18 stamps. As I said, great detective work on your part, lots learned about these cinderellas from your work.
Regrettably, the link you sent via private message did not open, but given your quote of the article, I don't think it is needed.
There are two shows coming up this fall that I plan to attend. Maybe some of these two series may be available at one or both of them.

One of two lots recently purchased from the APS Stamp Store: A set of the 1936 International Philatelic Exhibition stamps.  A stamp celebrating the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution (see this post).  A stamp produced by the Association of South Jersey Stamp Clubs promoting its 5th annual stamp exhibition held in 1940.  |

I bought this set of twenty-one Nebraskaland poster stamps from a local stamp club member. The set is complete at 21 stamps and was issued in 1963 by the Nebraska Game Commission and apparently sold statewide in retail outlets. An announcement about their release urged those who bought a set to use them on their outgoing mail. To date, I have not seen any on cover. Does anyone have one, or seen one on cover?
There was a 1964 follow-up issue in booklet format with presumably different designs.

My recent Nebraskaland acquisition motivated me to search eBay for the second issue of 1964 in booklet format and, to my surprise, I found a lot of two intact booklets which I bought. The booklets were stapled together just like the early U.S. stamp booklets and I took one apart. It is my plan to keep one booklet intact and mount the covers and individual pages of the other separately. Scans of the exploded booklet follow.
The front and rear covers. Chimney Rock, the image on the right, is the front cover, The left scan is the back cover. Both the front and back have text identifying the stamps as the product of the Nebraska Game, Forestation, and Parks Commission. The rear cover suggests usage of the stamps on personal and business mailings, but also displays the warning "These are not postage stamps." Each of the covers also can be used as a post card: The stamps, page one of four: The stamps, page two of four:
The stamps, page three of four: The stamps, page four of four:
The stamps in the booklet are smaller than the poster stamps of the 1963 issue and the printing quality is not quite as good as the 1963 edition. From what I can determine, there were no issues following the 1964 booklets.
