US National Philatelic Exhibition. 1930

to rohumpy, idhaber has to adjudicate, but I think you have it rohumpy.

nr-notrare. The blue one not sure, Londonbus would be the man,
but BW&Co is probably Bradbury Wilkinson & co stamp printers, this would be good propaganda for them.

The second one is self explanatory, but there's a twist!
each sheet of those, had a tete-beche example, at bottom left.
Shown on an example of mine:



Jubilee. you always manage to pull something outa the bag.
that is one hell of a nice cover.

Actually nr-notrare and Jubilee's CDS are souvenir siblings
according to the Negus database of labels etc

No idea what the "Morgan" sheet is though.

Great cover jubilee.....


Rod.......that tete-beche sheet is quite nice.


Still no ideas about the SCA ?

Actually, sorry to say, close but no cigar. Close though. Real close.

Yes, clearly QV in the center, James Polk on the right, the symbol for the Swiss Confederation, and the gentleman on the left is His Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro II, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil. Dom Pedro reigned as emperor of Brazil from 1831 to 1889. That's his picture.

Take a look at his wikipedia article, an extraordinary life, but fame is apparently fleeting.

Great topic, nice scans, super Exhibition labels !




'Morgan' is a reference to Glenn Morgan, author of British Stamp Exhibitions [A priced catalogue of sheets,cards and labels]. This is my little GB stamp Exhibition Bible, a new CD edition just being released going up to 2010.
The Blue label depicts a 2d blue and heraldic Lion and Unicorn with Big Ben in the background. Lovely design.
Issued in sheets of sixty and printed in recess by Bradbury Wilkinson and Co Ltd. Perf 13½ x 13
Given free by the Stamp Collectors Association [SCA]. The stamp is inscribed 3-9 March in error as the show cancel [in red] shows the actual dates of the Exhibition, 3-8 march.
The National Stamp Exhibition was held at the mightily impressive Central hall in Westminster, close to the Abbey. It is a pity that not more Stamp shows are held at this lovely Exhibition and Conference Centre.
Oh yes, the number 47A-01 is the number given to the label in the catalogue.
I had a quick chat with Glenn Morgan last Sunday at the NPS Literature Stand and we mourned the lack of Labels for this years show......in fact he confirmed that there were none at all !!

Londonbus1.....Lacking Labels !

As Rod stated in his initial post, the 1930 APS Convention label was issued in a set of 4, the other colours being Purple,Red and Green.

The 1947 label was also a set of 4, the other colours [not shown thus far] being Green and Blue.

When I get back to normal here, I will post scans if no one else has done so.

Great thread !

Londonbus1....did I say that already ?

Actually, here are all the shades of the 1947 series that I have:






Sorry I hadn't posted these sooner.

I was hoping "SCA" would stand for "Stamp Community Association". A precursor to our beloved Stamp Community Forum "SCF". Wouldn't that have been cool?

Thanks to Londonbus for clearing up the queries.
"SCA" is not even listed under the volminous "ask phil" database.

There was nothing under the engraver of the 2d blue (an NVI cinderella)
Mr/Ms V Scaramanga, but I detect a hint of cartoon humour in the heraldic
interpretations.
