Ink Advertising


European Ink Manufacturers were very prolific in the use of 'Poster Stamps' (stickers, often called Cinderellas in the stamp trade), to advertise their brands of ink.
I have a large collection of these Poster Stamps, and will add a few photos here over the next day or two.  Most of these have been purchased from Europe, as not many Australian Stamp Dealers have a stock of these types of advertising stamps.

  1. Hi Lyndel,
    I just typed a comment, but it looks like it didn't work, so I'll try again. Just want to thank you for your compliments on my blog; it is always nice to know that other people enjoy reading one's own blogs! I am fascinated with yours; one of my hobbies is calligraphy, so I found everything on your blog of great interest. I didn't know about those stamps!
    Your profile says you are in the eastern suburbs. I'm in Eltham - anywhere near you?

  2. Burwood is very familiar to me. My husband's family lived in Aisbett Avenue (off Toorak Road) for 50 years. The house was sold just a few months ago. The only opshop I know over that way is the RSPCA opshop(s) - great stuff in there!
