Are Cinderellas Worth Anything?

The New Zealand life insurance stamp is the third from the bottom. They are listed in the back of the NZ listings in Scott, with an OY prefix.

From the first group.

Orange, "Gold Bond Stamp Co." - Savings Stamp
Green, "Sperry & Hutchinson" (AKA, S & H Green Stamp) - Savings Stamp

Fifth Group
Blue, "Gunn Bros." - Savings Stamp
Fuel Oil Stamps - WW2 Fuel Oil War Ration Stamps

Sixth Group
Playing Card Stamp - Scott # RF26 PSS(Precancel Stamp Society) # RF26-22(PC221)
Green, Texas State Cigarette Tax
Large R is a Registration Label or Etiquette
After that are WW2 OPA Gas Ration Stamps (OPA-Office of Price Administration)

I fould this to be quite an interesting post. I have a number of the latter OPA Gas Ration Stamps which prompts me to ask:

1.Are there collectors out there of the Depression-era OPA stamps, not only for gas, but for food (i.e. "meat, fats, fish, cheeses")?Anyone know of a resource where there is a list of all of the various OPA stamps issued?

Also, I have one that says "Permits Delivery of 5 gallons fuel oil (OPA)". Was that for home delivery of heating oil?

You guys are great. Thank you so much.

Yes




Also Yes, I have a partial list that was given to me. It was copied from a publication. But I don't know which one. I'll try to find it for you.




And a 3rd yes.

Your Registration Label is Stanford Le Hope (or Stanford)
prominent in English History with regard to the ending
of English Slavery (or cutely named "Feudalism")

Registration Labels are collectible, I have an agent that feeds me
labels at 10c each, my duplicates I place in Hagners with
Information snippets which fetch $20 -$30
....and sometimes fail to sell :(

An Australian Registration Label for the Centenary cricket test
in Australia is currently worth around $4000 IIRC

That is interesting Rod222 and a nice collection you have. I will have to see if I have any more of them. Thanks for the information.

Rod,
are the newer bar-coded registration labels collectible also?
Do you have any of them?

Doug

G'day Doug,
I suppose by definition and by choice, anything is collectable,
I have not seen many, if any, collecting modern Registration labels,
they have had a similar format and livery since the US adopted the
North German Federation of registration of articles.
(generally oblong white and blue)

The modern era has changed all this, and computer graphics
and bar code readers tend to give us an array of different
and sometimes hardly recognisable labels.
I collect them when they cross my desk, but do not actively search for them.
Possibly they are for the next generation of collectors.

Here are three: switzerland Croatia and France

Thanks for the scans. I like them for some strange reason. Maybe the exotic (to me) names and places.

I guess, when you consider it Puzz, they are the
only stamps we have that display the name of the sending PO.
That gives them a certain appeal.

There are 2 registration labels that were used as "postage stamps"
New Guinea, but the other one escapes me.
