rod222 -- Working my way through a bunch of stuff to either keep or sell, I came across the souvenir postcard you've shared just above (Paris, 1964, referenced to the Witt Collection).
Much Googling has found only these two references (yours, and the original Witt Collection). Wondering whether there's a value I should place on this if I tuck it into my Cinderella book, or if it's just as worthless as I suspected when I first encountered it.
Any thoughts? |

Hi Folks, I am in the process of putting together a collection and checklist of philatelic souvenir items from the Eiffel Tower and may be able to provide some insight on the labels posted here.
My researches indicate that the grainy views of the tower from the left bank of the Seine with the vertical "PARIS" inscription appear to have been used from the summer of 1947 to the spring of 1950 and are found in blue, brown, grey, violet and green. They were affixed usually singly, sometimes two at a time, to postcards sold at the souvenir stands on the tower.
The fine quality engraved Paris views were usually affixed to the "Paris and its Monuments" cards from the autumn of 1954 to at least the autumn of 1969. There are 10 different views and at least 8 different text labels in at least four different languages. Each label is found in seven different colours and were randomly affixed to the cards, 8 on the front, two on the back, with at least one of the labels with text.
There were several other labels produced for the Eiffel Tower which I would be happy to post if anyone is interested.
I welcome any information on these and other labels used on the Eiffel Tower including when and how they were used, if known, to refine the checklist I am working on. |
