Yes, this is clearly a cinderella. Issued by a corporative body (perhaps, the National Trade Federation of Colombia) to defend Colombian domestic trade.

Excellent deal stampfan, especially if the sheet is in the same condition as the outer envelope appears to be.
Well done.

Now you have to find a nice large page to protect it !

Londonbus1,thanks for the excellent advice. The package is in unopened original condition and I am of two minds about opening it. I am in the planning phase of how to display my collection. The day dreaming about display is much more pleasant than the work and at the present time I prefer to dream.

Sweet dreams Stampfan !

Be aware that on occasion, the sheet is stuck together on the gummed side. So if you do dream about opening it, be aware !

Londonbus1.....best to leave it be, easier to display !

Here's something I picked up at an amazing price during my recent UK trip.
Been after one for a while.

No gum as issued, super condition.

Londonbus1, the thing about this forum is that the items scanned by so many posters such as you are of museum quality, and great fun just to look at and admire.

Stampfan9: Curious as to the poster stamp shown on the bottom row of your scan showing "America First in the Air - Join NAA".

I found the advertisement for the label here:



And using the name Berneard Elman, I found a profile of the company history (which, by the way is still in business today!):


Quote:
Elman Labels was founded by Bernard Elman in downtown Washington, DC in 1934. Bernard and his small team started first by selling labels "door to door." This developed into a small local enterprise. In the late 1940s, Marvin D Bortz joined his father-in-law and began to broaden the focus of Elman Labels. In 1953, Berneard Elman passed away and his son, Stanley Elman, joined the growing business. Stan Elman and Marvin Bortz were partners for over thirty five years during which Elman Labels enjoyed many years of wonderful growth. The team of Elman and Bortz built a solid business by dedicating themselves to provide a quality product with competitive prices and a "hands on" approach to servicing their accounts regardless of size. The Elman product line became more diversified: in addition to selling labels our company became a wholesale distributor of retail packaging supplies to retailers throughout the mid-Atlantic region. And here we are a few more generations later and Bernard's grandson, James Bortz, is running the company. And as of 2004 and 2007, James' two children, David and Jennifer (respectively), joined the business.


It seems the slogan "America First in the Air - Join NAA" refers to the National Aeronautic Association:

In 1941, 3601 Connecticut Avenue, Washington DC, was the Broadmoor Hotel. The building still stands, but was converted to condominiums.
