Advertising Poster Stamp
Poster stamp issued to advertise a medicine produced in pharmacies according to the standards of DAK -
Danmarks Apotekerforening
(The Association of Danish Pharmacies).
According to
The history of the Danish pharmacopoeias
an article written by Poul R. Kruse, and published on histpharm.org:
DAK’s formularies
The establishment of a pharmaceutical industry in the late 19th century and its expansion during the 20th century resulted in a steady increase in the sale of pharmaceuticals from the pharmacies. This development led to a fear of erosion of their right to prepare medicines among the proprietor pharmacists.
On this background, the Association of Danish Pharmacies (Danmarks Apotekerforening) took the initiative in improving the competitive power of the pharmacies opposite the pharmaceutical industry. The association set up a committee, the Composition Committee of the Association of Danish Pharmacies, abbreviated DAK Committee, and established a laboratory, the Control Laboratory of the Association of Danish Pharmacies, abbreviated DAK Laboratory. The committee and the laboratory should develop medicines, DAK Medicines, which could replace the pharmaceuticals. The DAK Medicines should be prepared in every Danish pharmacy, packed and labelled identically for all pharmacies, and sold under special names with addition of the trade mark DAK.
At the beginning, the DAK Committee and the DAK Laboratory developed about 40 medicaments as substitution preparations. In 1924, the Association of Danish Pharmacies published the formulas of these medicaments in the form of a book with the title DAK Preparations 1924 –
DAK Præparater 1924
.
The operation of the DAK Committee and the DAK Laboratory increased in the following decades and new editions of DAK Præparater with a growing number of formulas for substitution preparations were issued, namely
DAK Præparater 1927, 1934, 1935, 1939, 1944, 1950, and 1963
.
Until the end of the 20th century, the operation of DAK braked a complete transfer of the medicine manufacture from pharmacies to the pharmaceutical industry.
The manufacture of medicines in pharmacies in Denmark came to an end in 1990, owing to a political decision.
This stamp is advertising Magnyl Tablets, which is an NSAID pain reliever with aspirin.
This is a Mærkat style poster stamp, published by F.E. Bording A/S, in 1944, and is numbered 2597.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such).
Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs.
A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum:
Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described.
* A Note about "Stock Images":
Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words:
"STOCK IMAGE"
at the end of the description.
