1933 Worlds Fair Cinderellas

Where can I find info on these?

Clint, check ebay under fairs and exhibitions..there are many varieties of the Century of progress logo !

Did you know there are other varieties of those poster stamps (the perforated variety, at least) that came in booklets (without the dates of the event)?

Posted throughout SCF over the years.
(I paid $2 + ship from Phib, for my labels :)

Nice write-up Rod! If you'd like to include an image of the Baby Zep (Scott C18), you can have mine.

I guess what I am looking for is were they given away by some exhibitor. Who printed them. If they were sold as souvenirs, what did they cost. Any historical info would be helpful.

Thanks Steve!

As wt1's post indicates,
the organisers of the "Century of progress" would have made ticketing
and subsidiary stationery and items for revenue raising.
Individual pricing of items a little more tricky.

Google "Century of progress" or visit...

Resources

A collection of materials including images is held by the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago. The Century of Progress Collection includes photographs, guidebooks, brochures, maps, architectural drawings, and souvenir items.

Thanks for the info

Clintd,

The labels you showed in your first post are [very nice] modern reprints, so not around in 1933 !

The Booklet posted by wt1 are originals and most likely cost a nominal amount at the fair.
Many, many labels were produced for this Fair, both by the organizers and private exhibiting companies.

I got this in the mail today..... Has anybody seen this label before?

new12collector, I think this one is about the same..just more color..theres a lot of the Century of Progress stuff around and the vast majority is not expensive...i try to root it out myself rather than look in a dealers topical files !

BUMPING this older thread. An FDC with the (fake) modern poster stamp attached.
