Spelling it out

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

   I have been hoping for a while to get a set of poster stamps with each stamp featuring one letter, with the whole spelling a message. This set is for Glosine Shoe Polish. 
While I like these generally I am a bit disappointed that the actual sheet is broken, and that letters are not really used as part of the design as is sometimes the case

Incidentally, both this set and the skating poster stamps were produced by the same company - the Sigmund Spear Art Institute of Nurnberg.

	Another group of 'lettered' stamps, which are self explanatory. Hans Sachs 1494-1576 was a playwright Theodor Korner 1791-1813 was a poet Lucas Cranach 1472-1553 did wooodcut printing Ulrich Fugger 1441-1510 was a merchant Holbein the Younger 1497-1543 was a noted painter I would assume that a full set may also spell out EDUARD and CHEMNITZ, but I was lucky with these to find two sellers one who had the B and E and the the other with Y, E and R, on the same week and no bidding war.
