Found these tucked away in a box of loose stamps.

Here's the answer about those King Korn Trading Stamps (can't see the last image ... too small):

Thanks wt1 for the info.
Sorry for the small scan of the Stop and Save stamps.

Hello fellow collectors !
I have got 3 nice cinderellas from the Netherlands right here, check it out

the first one was issued in 1975 in honor of Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, all revenue from this Cinderella went to the Albert Schweitzer foundation whos goal is to support young peoples ideas to better the Healthcare in Africa. The red stamp translates to : Honour Life
design by P. Wetselaar , Printed by Johan Enshede and sons Haarlem


The next Dutch Cinderella was issued to celebrate 25 years of television broadcasting in the Netherlands. The first television broadcast in the Netherlands was on 2 octobre 1951
The building on the stamp is the NOS studios in Hilversum (nederlandse omroep stichting - Dutch broadcasting network
design by Will Bakker , printed by Johan Enschede and sons Haarlem.


My third Cinderealla was issued in 1973 in celebration of Alkmaar 400 years city of Victory , referring to the turning point in the 80-years war against the spaniards. It was the first Dutch city to be taken aback from the Spanish. The spanish army that was besieging Alkmaar was led by Don Frederik who was the son of Fernando Álvarez de Toledo (the Iron Duke)
Alkmaar was under siege from 21 august to 8 october 1573 the spanish gave up when Willem of Orange gave orders to break the dykes around Alkmaar. Since then we have a saying here in the Netherlands : "Victory starts at Alkmaar" (Alcmaria Victrix in latin on the stamps)
design by Johannes Bon , printed by Johan Enschede and sons Haarlem.

Well, Spanish say that "Sun, set in Flanders". Meaning that the decadence of their empire, started in Flanders (by then comprishing, also the Low Countries).
May be, all started in Alkmaar...It hasn't finished yet...

Recently purchased.






Not even a clue about this label except that it is paper and of Japanese origin. I received it in a lot of ephemera.

This might be considered a poster stamp or label probably more than a Cinderella but here it is anyway. :)



Here is an interesting magazine called "Tobacco world" that makes reference to this Tobacco show.

ILS, That is one nice looking Cinderella.

Thank you! I just received it yesterday from a member of another board. Quite unexpectedly too!

WOW stampfan I'm in love with those World Fair Cindies you posted above! congrats on those too! I have never seen those before either curiously!

Very nice Stampfan and ILS !
The Worlds Fair has many nice labels/Poster stamps...quite a collection in itself.

The Tobacco show Poster stamp [yes, it's a Cinderella!] is interesting in that it was held at the venue where some of the early ASDA shows were held. A wonderful building.

That 1924 Tobacco Show Cinderella is very interesting, although in 1925 they held the Show at a different New York venue (Grand Central Palace).

I found this FRONT PAGE news article in a Florida newspaper from 1925 rather interesting, from which I excerpt a few key paragraphs. It really puts into perspective the sentiment of that period in promoting tobacco use and how it purportedly even cured physical ailments and with tobacco consumption up 27% from 1924!

How times have changed!
