A poster stamp, cinderella stamp, was used as an advertising label or commemorative that is usually lager than most postage stamps. These stamps appeared in the mid-19th century and quickly became a collecting craze, declining in popularity after World War II. Not valid for postage these were often placed on envelopes to accompany the actual postage. The above images are for reference purposes and some have been cleaned up to show a better image.
