Set of 1950s-era Cinderella Stamps by Helipot Corporation
Description : 13 Jun, 2023
In philately, a "cinderella stamp" is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration". These five humorous cinderella stamps were created in 1954-56 by Helipot Corporation, a division of Beckman Instruments of Newport Beach, California. They were sent to customers as a promotional item.
Each of the five stamp designs has a humourous image and a caption related to engineering or project management: “Engineers Are People”, “We e Your Problems With Enthusiasm”, “Yes Sir, That’s A Firm Date”, “People Are Basically Honest” and “Keep Smiling, Have Faith”.
This package includes a plete mini-sheet of each of the five stamps. Each sheet appears to be missing one or two stamps (see photos). There are a total of 66 stamps, all in mint condition except for the fact that the sheets aren’plete.
Included in this package is the original blue cardboard folding envelope in which the stamps were mailed. This one is postmarked “Newport Beach Calif 1956”, and is addressed to “Mr. W Dobson, Defence Res. Northern Lab., Fort Churchill, Man. Canada”. It has “Commemorating the Greeting Season” on the flap. Envelope is in good condition and has some marks.
Also included is an identifier sheet with images of the five stamps and the greeting “Five new issues stamped with sincere cheer for friends from Helipot”, along with the footnote “ *In keeping with the spirit of the season, we’re omitting mercial.” This sheet is in great condition with no marks.
For pickup only in St. James, vicinity of Ness and Ferry Road. Willing to ship within Canada for an additional shipping fee (buyer to pay in full in advance via e-transfer).
