Hollerbaum & Schmidt

I haven't a clue?!!!!!! Have you?  I picked these up at an auction today. No clue what they are, but I figured they'd make nice bookmarks if nothing else for $4. I happened to notice one has a good tear, It's been quite awhile since I made a find of something interesting. This Hollerbaum & Shmidt company that made these really has some interest. A web search pulls up some interesting artwork.

  Update...(sort of)... I was at the St Louis Stamp Expo last weekend and a gentleman explained to me that these were given out to subscribers of newspapers and that they were printed as a series. They also have sales advertisements printed on the back. I know someone collected them now and that they weren't tickets to a show or something as I and several people I had shown them to had guessed.

Seals

Philatelic Exhibition seals, beautifully engraved. These show a plane, rider on horseback, a ship and also a train with the globe in the forefront.



Awesome design and artwork.

Tennessee

Now you can see how I deduced what yesterdays scans were. Not that I'm 100% sure. I stand to be possibly corrected.

I haven't heard much noise lately. Am I tooting my horn?

Feed Tax

Not sure about this, I got no clue(OK I got one perhaps) I think these are feed tax stamps. Real real REAL far in the back of the book. You can enlarge these by clicking on the images.

Cinderellas

Ships are cool, ships on stamps are cool too. But what if they are not official stamps, but rather cinderellas put out by companies or organizations? I still find them interesting myself, even though many raise their nose to them. Cinderellas are a fantastic area to collect. Many of them demand a high price. Does anybody else keep those cinderellas they come across?
