Let's See Your Cinderellas!

Believe the trio (explore, enjoy, protect) are "fundraiser" stickers from the Sierra Club. An Oakland CA-based conservation non-profit founded by John Muir.

I only collect Cinderellas related to US philatelic events from 1920's to 1939. Here is a set of singles that are common until you look at the center vignette.

Another example of what looks like a common Cinderella until you look a bit closer.

Hi rturn22:

Neat varieties! Thanks for the comparisons.

Here's one on the 1940 Mrs. Stewart's Bluing cinderella sheets. Note the Penny Black stamp. On the first sheet it is blue, on the second, appropriately black.

I don't know for sure which is more difficult to find. My experience is the black is less frequently seen than the blue.

Thanks for sharing, rturn22 and Don Sellos. Always up for some "new" and interesting cinderella items.

Genera Mills WWII Battle Stamps Album with inspirational forward:

A relatively rare poster stamp is the imperf Cannes Aviation Meet of 1910. I recently acquired the even harder to obtain brown sky variant and the missing yellow error. All 3 will be going into the exhibit I am preparing.

I just added another dozen Tobler cinderellas to my collection:






In the 1910s and 1920s, the Tobler chocolate company in Switzerland, creators of the world-famous Toblerone bar, issued 52 series of poster stamps (with 12 stamps per series) inscribed in the artificial international language Ido, which was championed by the company's founder, Theodor Tobler. This is Series XIII, depicting examples of craft trades: blade-sharpener, shoemaker, cabinet-maker, clockmaker, violin-maker, blacksmith, sculptor/woodcarver, saddle-maker, locksmith, tailor, lathe operator, and basket-weaver.

These 52 series were issued in a variety of editions. Some were redesigned and probably all of them also appeared in English. A further 33 series were issued in English alone. A later edition of this particular series corrected the erroneous caption "La Mestier" to "La Mestieri".

Jorge, it is a pity people consider these cinderellas as those tend to be nothing more than stickers that look like stamps but have nothing to do with the post other than that you can stick them on it like I adorn postcards to a friend besotted with cats with cat stickers.

Unlike cinderellas, many of the local stamps of Spain - not to be confused with the civil war overprints intended to defraud collectors - did see postal use. They were used to collect a type of obligatory tax on items posted locally. Consequently, they have much in common with fiscal stamps.

Here is an interesting study on these triangular stamps of Tafalla with images of all colours andAfinsa and Gálvez catalogue numbers and, as usual, other names for the colours:

NSK, you are absolutely right.
I was reading the Link and of course, these are not advertising or decorative cinderellas, but rather stamps issued by the Municipal Council to raise funds (1937, Civil War)
In fact, as you say, all postal mail originated in Tafalla had to have ordinary postage plus one of these surtaxes.

Thanks for the clarification.
Maybe these kind of label/stamps with face value and fundraising purposes should have their own thread.

That would not be a bad idea. There are several threads about individual 'beneficencia' stamps. And some stamps pop up in 'Spain' threads. Spain is a very complex country.
