Its a shame none of them were ever adopted. All are nice.

Nice essays Lb,
I finally have all the colours in those now.

I saw an article on the last two airmail essays somewhere
recently, but where I have no idea.

Here is something I just found on the 1936 New York Exhibition.

Notes: The Brit Empire Gold was won by an Australian stamp

Looks like a "Farley's folly" minisheet was used
and famous french Dealer, Theodore Champion was there.

I wish I had been there mingling

Received today
Monaco 2006, rouletted in block of 4,
cover mutilated, cut in half addressee destroyed.

(looks like Monaco has a stamp museum)

This week I shall post a list of every
Australian Stamp Exhibition, 1898 through to 1950

Here's a little beauty that has been lying around in my mess for a while.
Just now discovered that the market value is £30 !



Issued by the Union of Polish Philatelists for two Exhibitions in Birmingham and London, April/May 1966, under the banner "Polphilex '66".
The central stamp was engraved by Czeslaw Slania which most likely accounts for the high market price.
[British Stamp Exhibitions, Morgan/Wilson, 2010]

An absolute beaut.

Was looking at playle.com and saw some neat covers for the columbia exposition.





just saw but did not buy.

Just ran across this Vatican City sheet for a show in France in 1989.

I didn't own it even ten minutes before some chowderhead was kind enough to let me know it is worthless. If only I'd known...



I was hoping it would be included in Unificato's VC listings, but alas it was not to be.

"Free advice is cheap" as they say Collin

How can <anything> be worthless?
when something like a smile has inestimable value.

Cjd,
It obviously had value to you as well as the seller.

It's lovely !

Cjd......if you ever get bored with it, send it to me.

For free of course, I don't pay for worthless trash !

Londonbus1....loves freebies, especially exhibition freebies !

Some 1901 Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo bits and pieces.









Some of those, courtesy of Philb !

The 1926 International Philatelic Exhibition, held at the Grand Central Palace, New York.

The first US Souvenir Sheet was issued at this Exhibition. A Sheetlet of 25 2c White Plains issue was available only at the Exhibition and from the Post Office Philatelic Agency.
If anyone has a sheet, I'd love to see one posted here.
The top of the sheet bears the show inscription and dates.

Here is an advertsing label from the Show.
