Paris cinderellas on Eiffel tower postcard

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I came across a postcard named 'Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel' with 8 Paris cinderellas attached to the front and 2 text labels with information about the Eiffel tower attached to the back, as you can see in the images.

Does anyone have any information about the Paris stamps? Are there only 8, and when were they made? And when was the postcard used? Google let me down in this :)

	I posted up an identical item a short while ago but change to photobucket means picture no longer viewable. I suspect this eight is the set

	There seems to be some variables. Snap from ebay. Possible date around mid-fifties

	Here's my Eiffel Tower post card The stamps are in different colours, though the same 8 colours are used. Perhaps you could have each design in each of the 8 colours. The French and English info stamps on the back are also different colours to the above. Note that this one is pre=paid for postage, which also dates it to 1974 Wish people would send me postcards like this.
