Switzerland

Event Publicity Poster Stamp

The Schweizer Mustermesse (also known as muba) is a business and industrial trade exhibition, held in Basel every year since 1917.
    According to Wikipedia:

    The first fair was a demonstration of the industrial development of Switzerland and opened on April, 14 1917. It had 831 exhibitors spread out over 6,000 square meters, and exceeded expectations by hosting over 300,000 visitors.

    In 1923, it was the site of a fire that completely destroyed the halls of the Mustermesse. Even before the fire, an architectural competition had been held to replace the provisional halls. Two new halls were built two years later.

    The number of visitors increased rapidly over the years following the fire. In 1966, it had more than 1,000,000 visitors.
This stamp depicts a portion of the muba logo, and is in German. (It is also known in French.)

It is listed in Pén's "Catalogue des Vignettes Suisses de Propagande et Commémoratives 1878-1980" as #2902a.

This stamp is F/VF, OG, NH or LH.

Approximate Image Size: 53 x 32 mm.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. 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.
