Slogan & Pictoral Cancels

I can't quite figure out where on the forum to start this thread. since it isn't specific to certain stamps. BUT it is sort of a "topic", so I decided to try it here. Moderators, feel free to move where you see fit.

Please share your slogan and pictoral cancels. Since the USPS has stopped using legible ones, I don't expect to ever get any nice ones in the mail anymore...

Here are a few:

I recently posted some older ones at this thread:

AHA! I didn't catch that thread... oooopsie... I am suprised there isn't a section someplace just for the subject of cancels...

New Zealand 1957 2d green Queen Elizabeth II stamp with a slogan cancel:

MOTORISTS / CARELESSNESS / KILLS

Canada 1951 Prime Minister series of stamps, showing Prime Minister William MacKenzie King, with a slogan cancel:

USA 1991 40c Airmail stamp, showing William T. Piper, aviation pioneer, with a slogan cancel:

PLEASE MAIL / EARLY FOR / CHRISTMAS

Another United States USA 1991 40c Airmail stamp, showing William T. Piper, aviation pioneer, with a nice, heavily-inked slogan cancel:

These aren't really slogans but still interesting and relative-

Puzzler I'm from the Lock Haven Pa. area and the Piper aviation airshow is going on this week there. All sorts of Ariel Acrobatics and stunts with the piper cubs! Also, possibly Mustangs and bombers and such usually show up I believe? A Dr. that lives there collects cold war era Russian Migs and loves to fly them low and fast over the town! It's awesome! However, I'm not in that area now though.

Nst bridge picture.

In the early days of Yugoslavia, it was common for people to affix stamps to the back of the envelope, acting as seals over the envelope flaps.


While cancellation was by handstamp this was only a minor irritation. But when machine cancels were introduced these misplaced stamps were a major problem. Consequently slogan postmarks were introduced with the message 'Affix stamps in the top right hand corner.' Most slogans were produced in a single format, or in two versions with the same slogan in Latin and Cyrillic text. However this slogan appeared in a wide range of versions.

There are very few examples of preWW2 slogans (any, not just the 'Affix' type)having their use carried over into the post-war period; but this one did.


I am not conceited enough to believe that this colletion is complete. If anyone has further types, please post them. In particular I have been unable to find an example used in Ljubljana (or anywhere else in Slovenia if it comes to that). Can anyone with an example please post it - even if it turns out to be the same as the Croatian ones.

Bamra1, that's a nice collection of a small aspect of Yugoslavia postal history.

Cheers, Robert

After WW2 the number of slogan, advertising and commemorative machine cancels in Yugoslavia increased exponentially. But before the war there were remarkably few.
