Amsterdam 1909 Labels

Heres a pair of labels I found first..my wife will probably end up with them !

Nice early cinderellas and with windmills.

Unusual colour for 1909...Neon Magenta?

Heres the story on the labels..we went to a small show we saw advertised....Coins and stamps...there were 4 stamp dealers and probably double that amount of coin dealers...one older lady with her grandaughter helping her had a lot of sheets and covers ..it so happened that she was an antique dealer and had these stamps to dispose of....the prices were reasonable and then she said...Everything Half Off ! We went to work !!

NICE!

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck ...

Interesting one. Last Dodo also provides 1909 as the 'year.' However, it must have been issued in 1924 or later.

Unless of course the designer of this label had a vision of Jan Veth's design on the righthand side 15 years before it was issued.

The year is 1909.

This series of veth stamps was introduced in the Dutch Indies in 1903.

The value of 12.5 cents in 1905.

You are correct. It says Nederlandsch Indië.

Both are commemorative labels for the 1909 international stamp exhibition in Amsterdam, cinderellas
