Just picked up a few at my local stamp club. Any identification on these? I'm most interested in the Bison Philatelic Society.

Here's an ebay listing for the Bison Philatelic Society cinderella, suggesting it dates back to 1942. Note that it was originally issued in a larger souvenir sheet form with perforations around the "stamp". In your case, it appears those perforations were cut off:

Not worth a great deal (considered two are being sold at $4.95 with no bids), but still very collectible.

Thanks for the ebay link. I have no idea why the previous owner trimmed them, but to each their own. At least the other "stamps" are all MNH.

Sorry it's a bit hard to read, but here's a story on the McKenzie Engraving Co. of Boston, Mass., who was the printer for the 1930 APS Convention Cinderella shown earlier in this thread:
