Airlines Cinderellas

Hi

In the old days many airlines issued cinderellas and labels to mark the mail carrying or for advertising purposes.
This is of PANAGRA (brand's colors green and yellow) and I think it must be of the fifties.



The airplane is a DC-6 or DC-7, I don't know...

Nice cinderella

These are quite collectible and I only wish that there was a catalogue that would list the WW cinderellas.

They would have to be broken down by category like 'airlines', 'poltical campaigns', 'expositions' etc.

Two people who specialized on cinderellas heavily were Bonnie & Roger Riga. Maybe if you googled their names, you might find some information on more cinderella stamps?

Bujutsu, thank you for the information. Bonnie & Roger Riga's site is amazing !
I found in the web other two cinderellas of this topic : QANTAS and TWA





TWA cinderella : Lockheed Constellation flying over Notre Dame in Paris

Great jorgesurci.

I am glad that you found more information on those.

Bonnie and Roger Riga used to have a regular column in Scotts Stamp Monthly and Linns Weekly - now monthly. They devoted themselves solely to cinderellas to the best of my knowledge.

I have saved a lot of their articles because I find them quite interesting.

And a colorful Mexican label :

Truly amazing what is out there to be found.

It is also hard to think that not that long ago, judges at the different stamp shows wouldn't even consider grading and judging an exhibit that had cinderella material. Now there are societies solely devoted to them.

COLOMBIA. AVIANCA.

The oldest airline in the Americas, second in the world, after KLM, AVIANCA held a monopoly on Air Mail in Colombia from 1919 to 1999.

Three diferent Avianca cinderellas:

- Correo Aereo de Colombia; ca. 1954
- Avianca, 50th anniversary; 1969
- Avianca, Jumbo 747; ca. 1976

and some non airline specific
