In the closing days of July this year, daniel and I exchanged posts (see above) about a 1939 cinderella issue commemorating the opening of the Unassigned Lands of Indian Territory to white settlement. There was an issue of two different sheets of 18 depicting the personalities, landmarks, and other historical features related to the event. Most of the first issue is displayed above, but of the second sheet Daniel had only two examples and I had none. Since then, the person I queried about the issue's backgrond not only replied, but sold me his intact sheet of the second issue (red & black) which I display here. Now, to find the missing three stamps of the first set in the series. Don StampHinger  |

I am unsure if this is a complete set, but there are enough of them to fill a page. These sesquicentennial souvenir labels came to me as a gift from a fellow TSF member, Anglobob of Ecuador. Many thanks Bob for your generosity.
Does anyone know if there are other labels to this set?

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

Alaska Arctic Air Mercy FlightAnother find in the boxes tonight are these triangle Cinderellas from around 1925. Although I do not collect Cinderellas I think I can find a home for these in my USA collection. These could have gone in the triangle feed but thought this was a more appropriate fit.

I have no idea Robert. I guess some printing error. You are the expert in that field😁. |

These are mentioned at least a couple of times on this forum and I showed some here. I also showed the book Triangular Philatelics which lists 10 different colour combinations available on white paper with a plain border or silver border overprint or a gold border overprint. That makes 30 different stamps. Then there is a yellow card stock version with the ten colour combinations but without any border overprinting. This makes a grand total of 40 different stamps! |

Another confirmation that I am getting old. I had liked your earlier post and had totally forgotten about seeing them. A bit of information overload with so much stuff to sort through. |

Thanks for posting the addition to the U.S. Sesquicentennial cinderellas. I would like to add it to my page of these and will put it on my watch list. Is there anything I could trade with you for it?

The first two souvenir sheets from the Women's Philatelic Society of Los Angeles. The club apparently changed its name from Woman's to Women's Philatelic Society in 1941. While it is not clear from these two sheets if they were issued in conjunction with a show or just given directly to members, the society continued to issue yearly souvenir sheets (1945 excepted) up to 1963. Whether it disbanded then, or merged with another group, I don't know. At this point, these are the only two sheets I have, but it appears they became smaller in size after the first two.

Donald Evans 1945-1977
I found these on eBay, thought they were interesting and purchased them. When they arrived, they seemed familiar and after a while I realised that they were based on the hand-painted stamps of Donald Evans but weren't described as such. There were others on sale but had sold by the time I returned to the listings. Of course, they are not originals but they are half decent printings.
Donald Evans was an artist who painted hundreds of stamps but died tragically young in a fire in Amsterdam in 1977.
The land of Yteke is described in the book "The World of Donald Evans" by Willy Eisenhart as being named after Dutch dancer Yteke Waterbolk from the Nederlands Dans Theater. In Yteke, 100ij equates to1IJ. The stamps commemorate the 25th anniversary of 'the final expansion of Yteke's territories '.

Rockefeller Center - Observation Roofs
I had shown these 4 Cinderella stamps in the Philatelic Clubs, Shows and Exhibitions: USA thread but, at that time I didn't own them. I do now. Described as a full set, they were relatively expensive, $40. Of course, they are not a full set and if they were, they would not have been worth that much. The stamps have no gum, the red one has a stain on the reverse, the next two have minor surface damage. I would assign no value to those three stamps. However, the fourth stamp is taller than the others, is not dated, has a different border design and the legend at the bottom reads OBSERVATION ROOFS/ HEIGHT 853 FEET. Much more rare than the others. I have seen two other similar designs relating to shops at the Rockefeller Center, both, in my estimation, also rare. A good find.

Charles Dickens: A Tribute to Genius This was a beautiful British Poster stamp issued in 1912 to for his birth centenary. Issued by the Charles Dickens Centenary Testimonial Committee to raise funds for his descendants. Printed in sheets of 12 by Raphael Tuck and Sons, London and described as a book plate. Not so well known was the American 2 cent version, shown here. Much more rare, it has taken me several years to find this one.  |

Souvenir Picture Stamps of Seattle, WashingtonPublished by Cardinelli-Vincent Co., San Francisco in a small brown folder. Stated to be Set 6. But different publishers are credited for similar series (see next post) suggesting commonality in production. The stamps are based on hand-tinted black and white photographs, a technique that isn't always successful but works quite well here.

Chicago 1837 - 1937 A sheet issued to mark the centenary of the incorporation of Chicago as a city. The I Will and Y symbol seems to date back to 1891 and acts as an alternative to the official city motto. It can still be found on some buildings.  |

American Presidents 1940 Photo-Stamps A complete set from George Washington to Franklin D. Roosevelt with accompanying paperwork. Photo-Stamps are miniature glossy photographs on card stock. This makes them difficult to perforate. Most of these stamps depict actual photographs apart from the early presidents and a couple of later ones. From Apeda Studio Inc. In New York.   |

A 1929 USA Roessler cover with what appears to be a Cinderella tied to the back, arrived in the mail today, I am very happy as I don't recall ever seeing a Roessler "Cinderella." If that's even what the label is! This rather large Cinderella-like label depicts a wrestler, probably intended as a reminder of the correct pronunciation of his name!   |

Don't Blame Industry For High Prices.
Tax cutting campaign stamps from the 1940s (?) Judging from the straight edges, there could be another 10 stamps in the set.

Here is a period piece (1940) with a little history behind it. This label promotes the Townsend Plan, a national scheme to establish a pension plan that would pay all citizens of the United States over 60 $200 a month. Recipients had to be retired with no criminal activity in their backgroun, and had to spend the money in the U.S. The plan was to be funded by a 2% national sales tax very similar to a value added tax. The Townsend Plan competed with the then newly introduced Social Security plan that paid $10 to $85 per month depending on previous earnings. Needless to say retired Americans much preferred the Townsend Plan to Social Security. The Social Security Act of 1935, however, carried the day politically. The Townsend Plan did not, however, go away and there were several other Townsend Plan labels and stamp look-a-likes issued over the years. See this link: www.google.com/search?q=townsend+plan&tbm=isch&chips=q:townsend+plan,online_chips:social+security+act:C-XAPOVbqCQ%3D&client=firefox-b-1-d&hl=en-US&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmifOzrtH5AhW5mmoFHbLnAtgQ4lYoA3oECAEQKA&biw=1349&bih=598#imgrc=4-8JPzgIuYlqUM The aquisition of this label was an impluse buy that looks like it could be the start of a new collecting field for me.

A set of eight poster stamps commemerating the 50th anniversary of North Dakota's admission to statehood in 1889. These poster stamps were printed by the National Poster Stamp Society, Chicago, in 1939 to supplement Sc. 858, the U.S. 3 cents commemorative for the admission of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington state. The North Dakota Historical Society and Greater North Dakota Association commissioned the set.
I have been looking for this set for a long time and found them at a local stamp show. I would have preferred to have an uncut sheet, but these will do until a sheetlet comes along.
