All you Cinderella afficionados. Can someone help me with this. I find no value marking so I think it is a Cinderella, but it appears to have been part of a cancellation and the year and country are quite recognizable. Anyone know what it is, please?? Thanks as always - Jeff

"JUL" is short for Julen (Christmas).

Danish Christmas seal for 1950. Here is an example on ebay (although seriously overpriced):

These are cropped images from ebay listings, but it will give you an idea as to how the Christmas Seals were used. Oftentimes it resulted in cancellations being inadvertently applied to them as shown:

Reprints are also known, as in this example:




Quote:
Officially issued Christmas Seal Reprints have been printed -- and are normally collected -- in sheets of ten seals. They have been officially issued by the Danish Christmas Seal Fund (under the sponsorship of H.K.H. Kronprinsesse Mary) which is in charge of all matters relating to the Danish national TB / Christmas seals. The front of the sheet indicates the year of reprinting, in Danish, such as "Nytryk 1976". The back of each seal also bears the year of reprinting, in English, such as "Reprint 1976". The reprinting started in 1976 and still continues every year, normally with old two years reprinted in each new year. This been done from the 1904 issue so far up into the 1970s. When reprints have sold out, they have been re-reprinted in a new year along with the two normally scheduled reprints.

Jeff,
I have had good luck using 'reverse image lookup' for identifying stamps. A good one is TinEye located at http://www.tineye.com/. Simply upload the image or the image link and it will return any images which match. Unfortunately cancellations can often cause a problem with image matching so it works best with mint stamp IDs.

You can also drag the image into Google image search, and include keywords to refine the image search.
