Let's See Your Cinderellas!

Very nice items. Thank you very much for sharing.

HEY I like the Lexington-Concord home-mades! I was at the USPS event myself.

Glad you like em @Nells250!

How about Sealand. An unrecognized country located on an old World War II fort in the North Sea, about 12 kilometers off the coast of England. Population is stated to be 27 at most.

I have a question if someone would be so kind to help me with it. Cinderella's are not my strong suit but I have accumulated a large holding of them over the years that have a home in a storage container. I use Scott as my reference but I do know that many other reference sources list many of the stamps that Scott does not. My question is are those that are listed in other catalogs but not Scott still considered Cinderella's? Or are they listed for value sake only? Don't want to post what I think is a Cinderella and others may see it as postage.

To Nils - the monster stamps are very nice! Reminds me of comic book art! I might look into this.

Butchie, you've touched on an issue that gets almost as divisive as politics! There's a firm, for example (which I will leave un-named) that has agreements with many small countries allowing it to print stamps in their names. They produce ridiculously large numbers of stamps that never see the light of day inside the named country, and cannot be found validly used as postage. A lot of collectors call the stamps "wallpaper". Now... are they official stamps or just junk? Scott says junk. Other catalogs include them. It's up to the individual, I guess, in the end.

For me, when I use the term "cinderella", I'm usually referring to stamps that never had pretensions of being postage stamps... old advertising or patriotic labels, for example. National Wildlife Federation stickers are a nice example, too. That field is nearly infinite and a lot of fun. I admit (and this is just me) that stamps pretending to be postage kind of annoy me.

Eaton Paper from the World's Fair. A very nice ABNco product

Nils. Thanks for the reply. I'll continue with my philosophy that if it's not available to use as postage it's a Cinderella. I know those countries. I have a big tote full of that stuff.

A black laminate Martinique Cinderella I found recently. Haven't seen anything similar online.

I see this stamp listed as Scott 136 in olive green. Maybe it is a changeling?

Cinderellas from Clipperton Island (Pacific Ocean) desperately trying to be legitimate. The Columbian stamp was used to continue the journey from Panama state to San Francisco.
