[zipedit] United States Advertising Poster Stamp In 1914, the New York Edison (Electric) Company issued a series of poster stamps with the letters of the alphabet, with a poem for each letter, promoting the many different ways electricity could be used by the public. The designs were created by American artist Frederick Goss “F.G.” Cooper (1883 – 1962). The characters on the stamps were derived from Cooper’s “Colonial Man” character that he had created for New York Edison around 1905. Cooper was born in McMinnville, OR. In 1904 he began his career in New York as a freelance designer and illustrator. He worked for several magazines and was a founding member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. He was also a member of the Society of Illustrators, NY. By 1905 Cooper was producing work for the New York Edison Company including their corporate icon – a Colonial man with an oversized head. Years later Cooper described the impetus for the first Colonial man figure. During his initial interview with the advertising manager of the Edison Company, their meeting was interrupted by a telephone call. Cooper listened to Arthur Williams say to the person on the phone, “We are always at your service.” From that expression of corporate service, Cooper envisioned the Edison Man, “. . . a cheerful, public servant, heralding the blessings of electricity . . . .” * Repetitive use of that trade-mark character turned Cooper’s construct into an easily recognizable corporate icon. * Leslie Cabarga, The Lettering and Graphic Design of F. G. Cooper (Glenbrook, CT: Art Direction Book Company, 1996) p.23. This series of stamps was issued with four different background colors – Blue, Green, Lilac, and Pink. They are known both with and without the printer’s imprint “Wentz & Co., 54 Front Street, New York, N.Y.”. These stamps are listed in Robert Bradbury’s “United States Advertising Poster Stamps 1912-1915”, as # C3923 – C4026. They are also discussed on the website Alphabetilately, at alphabetilately.org/nyed.html This stamp represents the letter R and has the following poem:R is for nimble Runabouts That keep so neat and clean Without the trouble, noise or dirt That follow gasoline.This example has a Lilac background, and has the printer’s imprint. It is F/VF, no gum. Approximate Image Size: 40 x 52 mm. * STOCK IMAGE DUE TO RECENT NON-DELIVERY CLAIMS – EXTRA FEES FOR SHIPPING MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME ADDRESSES.

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.
