I have just been looking through the sheets and labels posted before I went on my UK trip when I did not have much time to have a good look.
Some amazing items, many of which I had never seen before.

Many thanks JCStamp,Russ and James for posting such 'goodies'.

Here are two more from British Philatelic Exhibitions.

1971, Seymour Hall,London. Nov 3rd-6th

Printed by De La Rue on stiff card, it shows an unissued KEVII £5 definitve. 3,400 were sold at the show.



1972, Seymour Hall,London. Nov 1st-4th

Printed by John Waddington of Leeds using their own Kirketch process.
[A method of reproducing good quality items that were originally recess-printed].

Printed on stiff card it depicts a 1956 Malta Definitive in black.
Cards are numbered on the reverse and may also have Red,Blue,Green or Black show cancels [one for each day].

Cards exist with all 4 handstamps and without any.

What is that image on the SOJEX 40 vignette?
A Face, A Map?

How does one go about collecting these Exhibitions etc?

US
Exhibitions
Stamp Clubs
Poster Stamps
Religion
Green Stamps

etc &etc?

I think I'll mount on blue quadrille with
a new heading sheet for the above etc.


There are many more

fuel coupons
baggage labels
selection stamps
country shows and comittees

I don't think this one has been shown here yet.

Rather grubby and battered...

I hadn't looked inside the cover above until now.

Goes to show that you shouldn't assume anything.

I thought that ordinary card had been used to stiffen the envelope. Lifting up the flap revealed this inside.

"What is that image on the SOJEX 40 vignette?
A Face, A Map?"

I understand that the logo shows a map of the 8 southern counties of Jersey.

Grubby and battered but still very nice, especially with the cancel.
Strictly speaking, this is not a Philatelic Exhibition item, but an envelope and insert issued especially by the Post Office for the Jubilee celebrations in 1890.
Over 23,000 envelopes were sent from an evening Postal Exhibition at the Science and Art Museum in South Kensington,London. [Imagine, in just over 4 hours total, all those envelopes plus another 12,000 items of mail were sent from South Kensington that evening.These days, a Major 4 or 5 day International does not get anywhere near those numbers ! ].

There are many postmarks for the Jubilee celebrations at both South Kensington and the Guildhall which set up their own temporary Post Office.
Your cancel appears to be Dual Use-Type 2 although the colour is a bit confusing as the cancels for that type were in Black,Blue and Red, while yours appears to be Violet for the Type 1 cancel.

Mmmmm

LB, simply WOW!

I'll post some British Philatelic Exhbition labels apart from what LB has had posted soon ...

Today, I received an email from Graham Wilson, Co-Author of British Philatelic Exhibitions.
He was very happy with the 'new' finds I sent him and they will be included in the next Edition along with acknowledgments !

I am just about to send him scans.

It was a good weekend after all !

LB ...

I've just come across a thread which was posted in 2008 & then got resurrected by spanishmoss (thank you) titled: "World Fairs and Expos ephemera":

http://goscf.com/t/3290&whichpage=1

Your exhibitions throughout the "11" pages are simply Superb!

I'm speechless and stunned!

Cheers

Is there a possibility to share such scans with me as well??

Cheers

James.....the scans are up here, previous page. But I can send them if you wish.

Yes, the Expos thread was great...still is. I have more Expo stuff to post there soon.

In the meantime, here are some more advertising labels from the British Philatelic Exhibition.
First, a sheet from 1978, Self-Adhesive.
Remember, these are Pre-Show labels and were not on sale at the Exhibition itself.



And a sheet from 1985 with part Dry-Print.



And a very nice design for the 1979 show at the Wembley Conference Centre.



And finally, for now, a 1980 sheet.

I received this one from a correspondent in New Zealand, several years back. Thought it was very well produced with a definite historical interest as well as the Philatelic connection.
