Poster Stamps are the ultimate topical collectible and bring as much historical interest to stamp and ephemera collecting as any specialty. First issued in Europe in the late 1800s to promote or commemorate events, poster stamps are growing in popularity in the 21st century as new catalogues are being issued for many different topics and for collectors with chronological / geographic interests.
Image of the Week for July 24, 2026.
A round seal, overall diameter almost 5.75”, not listed in N. Follansbee’s catalog of US minor events, undoubtably rare. The Pageant was a precursor to the Miss Universe pageant and had foreign entrants in addition to American women: the 1929 winner was Lisl Goldarbeiter of Austria. No artist or printer information
