Event Publicity Poster Stamps

Publicity poster stamps for a showing of a private collection of Frankenthal Porcelein in Heidelberg, July & August 1912.
    According to Wikipedia:

    Frankenthal porcelain is porcelain that was manufactured in the porcelain manufactory in Frankenthal in the Palatinate.

    On May 26, 1755, the Strasbourg porcelain manufacturer Paul Hannong received the privilege of setting up a porcelain factory from Elector Karl Theodor (Palatinate and Bavaria) . He had been producing porcelain in Strasbourg since 1751 . Because of the competition with French manufacturers, the French king banned further porcelain production in 1754. Thus, Hannong could start production in the Frankenthal dragoon barracks immediately. It was managed by the Hannong family for seven years. It was under the electoral administration for 37 years. Adam Bergdoll was the technical manager from 1762 to 1770, followed by Hans Simon Feylner (Feilner). Up to 100 people were employed in the manufactory. Of all the major German manufacturers, Frankenthal has the shortest service life. Production ceased in 1799. The owner Johann Nepomuk van Recum took molds to Grünstadt and opened what later became the Grünstadt stoneware factory . The official end of the manufactory was May 27, 1800 by a decree of the Bavarian Elector. In the 44 years of its existence, however, it proved to be one of the most important porcelain manufacturers in Germany.

    After the electoral court moved to Munich and the manufactory was abandoned in 1799, numerous shapes came to the Nymphenburg manufactory . These forms were reproduced here at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. They are provided with the CT mark in underglaze blue and the Nymphenburg diamond shield.
This is a complete set of three poster stamps, and they are listed in "A General Illustrated Catalogue of Exhibition and Event Poster Stamps to 1914" compiled by Stewart Gardiner and Steve Greiczek on page 584.

These stamps are F/VF, OG, NH (1), LH (2).

Approximate Image Size: 43 x 62 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.
