Germany Poster Stamp - Hamburg 1935 "Derby-Woche" Sports Week (B)

Description: [zipedit] GermanyEvent Publicity Poster StampDerby-Woche or Derby Week, is a week-long event leading up to the prestigious German Derby (Horse race) which was inaugurated in 1867. The term "Derby" originated in England in the late 18th century, to designate the penultimate horse race of the season, reserved for three-year-old horses. In Germany, the lead up to the actual race was a week-long folk festival including various military and sporting events. This poster stamp was issued to publicize the June 22-30, 1935 "Derby-Woche" and depicts the Hamburg skyline, and a string of pennants, each one displaying a date and an event leading up to the Derby; the design was by artist Theodor Paul Etbauer (1892 - ?). This image of the line of pennants was also used in a commemorative slogan cancel for postal use. This poster stamp is known in (at least) two distinct perforation varieties - this one is perf. 9¼ x 9¼, and it is VF, OG, NH. It is listed as Kiddle (German Aviation - Aircraft) as #E109. Approximate Image Size: 49 x 70 mm. Shipping to US addresses will be via USPS First Class Mail. Shipping to non-US addresses will be via USPS First Class Mail International.

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.
