Again, does anyone have any info on this one? The style seems 1930's.

Did you try an ebay search under both stamps and collectables? This item may be referred to as a "cinderella" BTW. (A stamp not intended to pay postage)

I looked everywhere without success.
I'd suggest it be a cinderella propaganda produce by White Star / Cunard
If I were you, and it was important, I'd email
the webmaster at white star and red star postcards.
I have found him a very helpful chap in the past.

He would be interested anyhow with the cinderella, he has an image on
his site of my RED STAR perfin I sent him.

Moonbird, that's why I posted the pic in the "Cinderella" section

Rod, do you have a link?

Hope to meet your Cinderella on his "White Star" page.

Prompt: In passing ask him about the "Bremen"

He's already (kindly) replied. He's going to do some more digging, and has asked for a hi-res scan, which I've sent, for possible inclusion in a book on the Cunard liners. FWIW, I don't know if he can tell me anything about the Bremen I haven't gleaned already.

There was a discussion about this stamp somewhere, but my aging brain will not let me know where that is !
This is obviously an advertsing label for the Queen Mary, so it will be around 1936, possibly just before the first Atlantic sailing.
As Cunard-White Star later became Cunard, the white Stars in the corners were omitted.
Anything else is there in my brain but I just haven't reached it yet.

The size and layout of the sheet/sheetlet is also coming back.

Londonbus1....and I'll come back too when my brain awakes !

This was discussed briefly on the other forum, but details were sparse. I raised it here for a fresh perspective

LB, just a heads up, on another forum we used to
belong to, a guy named "Watermarks" has just posted
a swag of "exhibition" cinderellas, including a US CDS
worth checking out. Some nice Belgian ones too.
