Easter Seals As Collectibles.

Rod, I have that seller in my favourites.
Some very nice stuff, some quite reasonably priced and others not.

A great list for browsing.

wt1...I found a 1953. Will scan it tomorrow.

Here are some more Easter Seals.



The sheet below is from South Africa



The following two booklets are from South-west Africa [Now Namibia]







...and an adorable Easter Seal block from Canada.
This I like !



Londonbus1...Happy Easter to all

Great South African.
One for my "Lockheed Constellation" aircraft on stamps collection.

A couple more maybe South Africa?

I don't have too many Easter Seals, but I'm surprised by some of the newer Easter Seals pieces, that it seems Easter Seals dropped the Easter Lily in the stamp designs of late.

I also find it interesting how "politically incorrect" it is today to look at some of these cinderella stamps with slogans such as "Help Cripples" when the term has been revised to "Help the Handicapped" and even today, that's incorrect in deference to "Help the Disabled". (It just shows how our language has changed/evolved through the years!)

1953



Londonbus1...might find a '52 yet

Very nice! Thanks for posting.

FOUND IT ! 1952...

Just found a sheet with a few missing and splits.
Here is the bottom row.



As you can see, no Lily. So 1953 appears to be the first using the central design. 1952 being the 19th year of the seals.

I have this too, but torn :(

Easter Seals is responsible for my being a stamp collector.

My Grandmother (and Grandfather) volunteered at the local (Lorain, OH) Easter Seals office. She did organizing and office work, he fixed wheelchairs and other equipment which was donated. I spent many weekends 1974-1978 helping my Grandmother in the office, doing yard work, or in the Easter Seals van helping shuttle families around. In the attic were boxes and boxes of empty envelopes which once held $ donations. I clipped the stamps for mission mixtures, and was allowed to keep any I really liked.

I did not know Easter Seals started in Elyria with Elyria Memorial Hospital. I was born there!

I don't collect Easter or Christmas Seals usually, but I got these back in 2003 and thought that they were very pretty, so I added them to my collection. At the time I had lily plants that looked like the seal on the top row, second from the left in my yard.

Thought this was an interesting find in a recently purchased lot:

gettinold - What you have is a Tuberculosis Seal issued in Japanese Occupied Korea in 1933. The seal was printed in a typographed sheet of 50 (19mm x 24.5mm) and in a booklet pane of 10 (5x2). The Artist was believed to be Elizabeth Keith. The seals are unwatermarked. They are Korea Stamp Society seal # T-2. This was the second year of issue for these seals. The seal pictures a Korean boy and girl in native costume, singing Christmas Carols.

Happy Holidays!

Forgot to add the seal is Perf. 11

Thank you. Identification of this seal would have been a real challenge for me. Appreciate all of you information. I don't have many foreign seals. The history of this one turns out to be quite interesting.
