Netherlands Poster Stamp - 1909, Amsterdam - Small Business Exhibition

Description: [zipedit] NetherlandsEvent Publicity Poster Stamps Publicity poster stamps issued for the Middenstands Tentoonstelling (Small Business Exhibition) held in Amsterdam, June - August, 1909. There were several embossed, die-cut poster stamps produced by Posthumus of Amsterdam. According to an article in the Journal of the PSCC, by Jaap van Dijk: The well-known Dutch printing firm of J.D. Posthumus was founded in 1813 and specialized in embossed printing of letter seals and, later, poster stamps (sluitzegels and etiketten). The company is still in existence, doing luxury printing for business and private consumers.This stamp depicts the Paleis voor Volksvlijt (Palace of Popular Industry), the exhibition venue. This design appear in two distinct varieties - Type 1, with the O in "VOLKSVLIJT" slanted to the left, and Type 2, with the O upright. Both types are known in many color combinations. This lot consists of four different colors of the Type 2 version. These stamps are listed in "A General Illustrated Catalogue of Exhibition and Event Poster Stamps to 1914" compiled by Stewart Gardiner and Steve Greiczek as Type 2 on page 349 (Scarcity Rating = Common). They are also listed in R. J. Vos' "Catalogue des Timbres Commémoratifs de la Hollande" as # 61.1.B. These examples are F/VF, OG, H. Approximate Image Size: 26½ x 40 mm.

Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
