Coffee advert stamps

   A short set of advertising stamps for Kaiser Otto coffee, together with a real bank note. I do like these and will be keeping my eyes open for more. A nice source of inspiration for stamp design, and see if I can find the real bank notes of the other designs.

	Coffee selling must have been very competitive in pre-WWII Germany judhing by the number of number of brands issuing collector's advertising stamps and the range of subjects. Grom Aecht Franck are these childrens' story series. Sleeping Beauty and Hanset and Gretel.

	Very nice, and I agree, great inspiration for stamps too.

	These town crests feature on stamps advertising Kaffe Hag. There must have been a lot more, or there would have been much competition to have your town's crest used. Each one of these is full of symbolism and would have been painstakingly designed.

	I have finally found the 6th gnome stamp for Aecht Frank coffee. Originally posted in a separate thread, but these are best placed here. I should try to translate the little rhymes, but they may lose something in the process. Anybody want to give it a go?

	Coffee substitutes are produced for dietary, religious or economic reasons. I would guess the latter applies for German products in the interwar years. Feigenkaffee is one made from figs. A set of stamps with Parisian scenes, which will be familiar to many. Could I be missing a stamp with the most famous landmark? Schmid von Kochel may refer to a restaurant in Kochel am See, Bavaria.

	Roasted grain was also used for coffee substitutes. I am not too impressed by the themeless random mix of designs used for Seelih's Kornkkaffee, but nice to get an undivided strip of 5.

	I am a bit confused by these stamps. Clearly a series of 6 designs showing a boy and girl dancing, but for two different products. In fact two different brand names. Perhaps one company owned the other. Aechter Brandt Kaffee was a Kaffee Zuzatz - presweetend with sugar, sweetners or flavoured syrups. Schuerer's Double Knight is also 'zuzatz' and promoted as being healthy.

	Not coffee this time, but Aecht Frank coffee mills - 'a fine addition to any coffee drink'. Set of twelve stamps nicely in a block, one for each month of the year, with anthropomorphised animals enjoying each month appropriately. All pre climate change of course.
