Let's See Your Cinderellas!

New to me, 'sotavangit' stamp, I believe it is a Finland Prisoner of War poster stamp.

I think you're right Don.
Was listed here, but looks like it was sold

Thought I would share the recent Cinderellas that I have come across so far while working my way through a big sort.

I am very happy to be corrected if any of these are not classed as Cinderellas in order to improve my knowledge of the area which is sparse!!

Thanks for sharing, Banana Bread. Some interesting cinderellas, indeed. Particularly like the three from Belgium. Those are new to me.

The Alfred E Newman label was included within an issue of Mad magazine many yrs ago. The two NWF labels are fairly common.

The two flags are part of a set of world flags sold as perforated sheets for placement in various stamp albums, at the top of the first page of a given nation. (Believe the seller was HE Harris.)

You find listing for Notopfer (aka "blue flea") under "Germany" in Scott. Somewhat popular sub-collecting area.

The three "to pay" are GB postage dues. And the Iberia label is a common one from Spain (numerous variants).

If collecting cinderellas is your thing, you're off to a good start.

Correction: Alfred E Neuman.

Quick google search suggests "Brightpost" was a local, private postal service in UK.

Perhaps the tv license fee "stamps" are revenues rather than cinderellas. Will wait for other SCF participants to weigh-in.

The Kenyan one is a cut-out from an aerogramme

Thank you calstamp and vayolene for sharing your knowledge and giving feedback, Very much appreciated. Here are 3 more that have come out of the sort this afternoon. Google translate informs me that the 3rd pic (Italian) is an admission ticket to the Ministry of Public Education - Antiquities and Arts department.

The second one is from a stamp booklet pane (1996)

Final two Cinderella pictures from today's sort, I like the air mail item because it's unused and still on it's original sticky backing.

Believe the USPS sticker is referred to as an "etiquette".

The Boys Town is a typical example of a "fundraiser" sticker.

Thank you calstamp, 'etiquette' is the second new stamp term I have learnt today.

Earlier I came across some USA stamps I was not familiar with. The stamp identifier app and Google informs me that they are 'Penalty Mail Stamps' which I hadn't heard of before. Good day for a wee bit of learning.

Banana Bread:

The first item of your 4:20pm post is a 1966 U.S. souvenir sheet commemoratng the 6th International Philatelic Exhibition held in Washington, D.C. It is Scott 1311 and U.S. postage, not a cinderella.
