I have no idea what this is really.
It was in a bag of stamps I bought.
I like it, but I don't know anything about this.
What is this, and what was it used for?

Thank you so much,
SueStamps

Hi Sue,

This is what is referred to as a cinderella. It was not issue for postage, but to commemorate the International Philatelic Exhibition in NY in 1947. The exhibition is marking the 100th anniversary of the first US postage stamp.

Hi smauggie,
Thanks for the information.
I guess I must have a liking for Cinderella stamps, lolol..
I just find them different.

Who received these stamps and what did they do with them?
Thank you!
