Advertising Poster Stamps
Advertising poster stamps for Warner's Sugar Refining Co., of New York.
Details of the company's history are complicated, According to the obituary of Charles Mortimer Warner, company founder, in 1923:"He went down into Cuba and bought enough cane-producing land and cane contracts to insure an adequate supply. There wasn't any railroad, to get the cane to the sea, so he built one. And finally, he came back and established the big sugar refinery on the bank of the Hudson across from New York. It is a landmark under the Palisades.
The Warner Sugar Refining Company is today the biggest 'independent' producer of table sugar in America, and it has usually undersold the so-called 'sugar trust', cutting costs to the householder. Other contemporary reports mention that the Warner Sugar Refining Company merged, in 1906, with The United States Glucose Company and The National Glucose Company; and also that the Warner Sugar Refining Co., was a subsidiary of the National Sugar Refining Company.
This set of 5 stamps depict various activities in the sugar refining industry, and they are listed in Robert Bradbury's "United States Advertising Poster Stamps 1912-1915", as # C6120-C6124.
This set is represented by a single and a strip of 4, all from the top of the sheet, with side and top margins intact.
The stamps are F/VF, no gum.
Approximate Image Size: 35 x 61 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.
