France Oddball What Is It?

any one know anything about this item. i'm selling this in a lot of revenues and cinderellas. thought this was interesting.

Don't be coy, Elmer. Show us the whole stamp.

sorry here is a better picture.

Achat au Comptant
Appears to mean "Cash Purchase"
Grocery Coupon or similar?

Elmer.

Have yet to locate an exact match for your label or sticker.

With that said, am thinking this is a merchant loyalty or premium
stamp. Akin to the S&H green stamp or Blue Chip stamp in the States.

The search continues.

Going down the rabbit hole...

I was curious as to the vignette here,
A Gaul with a horned helmet
I always thought the fantasised Gaul helmet had little wings,
(too much Asterix?)

Researching didn't get me anywhere, but came across the "Beserkers"
from which we probably get our Beserk from.

Stamps do that to one...

i haven't found an image of the stamp anywhere and nothing on ebay.

This is indeed a trading/saving stamp from France. It is listed in the 1999 supplement to Art Mongan's "Deposit, Rebate, Savings & Trading Stamps" catalog as cat. no. FUL-02.

Mongan also illustrates a 1F stamp in a similar design (FUL-01) but printed in turquoise and black (left, image below).



I've also seen two other varieties (middle and right), also 1F; one has a different shade of blue and slightly different text and the other is a smaller size.

I am after a copy of this, also, Happy to Pay a decent price.
