I found these poster stamps offered on ebay that I found rather curious, as they are promoting a company that supplied the poster stamp industry with the gummed paper needed to make them:



So with my curiosity getting the best of me, I wanted to date these poster stamps, so my research found this ad from 1912 (note the branch office on Nassau St., NYC, which was in the heart of stamp dealers of that day):



And this announcement of their merger in 1922:



So I've dated the poster stamps from within the decade 1912-1922. Can anyone pinpoint it any closer?

Here it is. Asking price appears to be on the high side, though, and quite a lengthy time for the auction, probably both contributing factors to why there are no bidders yet.
