According to the website
muenchen.de
:
Carnival celebrations took place in Munich in the Middle Ages, probably since the founding of the city in 1158. However, these took place over the centuries only irregularly and you have to imagine them completely different than today's festivals, balls and parades. It was only towards the end of the 19th century that a true carnival tradition developed in Munich. It was then celebrated the first redoubt, so big balls with unusual costumes.
In the year 1893 the "carnival society" was founded and held thanks to generous donations of the large Munich breweries the first carnival parade. The following year, the antique dealer August Humpelmayr entered under the name of "Prinz Gustl I." as first carnival prince the throne - but still without a princess.
Time and again there were periods without major festivities or parades - for example, in the years before, during and after the First World War. It was not until 1925 that a big carnival ball was celebrated in the salvator cellar. Between 1970 and 2006, the carnival parade rested, but since then it has returned in a very lively fashion.
This stamp features a classic design by artist Anton "Koli" Kolnberger (1906 - 1976), and it is listed in Charles Kiddle's
"Poster Stamps - Circus, Fun Fairs, Clowns, Carnivals, etc."
as #GEC.46I (Rarity 30). Because the design also features the Münchnerkindl, the stamp is also listed in Michel Bonneau's
"Les Vignettes L'ENFANT de MUNICH"
as #49.
This stamp is F/VF, OG, NH.
Approximate Image Size: 49 x 70 mm.

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.
