Are these real stamps or CTO?

I am looking for any info on these 1936 international Philatelic exhibition in New York. Did one have to buy these or where they free?

How many different colors are there? I can not find them in the Scotts.

i can not really see them from your scan..

but i am eager to learn as well.

These are cinderellas. The top three are from the 1936 NY International Philatelic Exhibition and the bottom two are from the 1947 NY International Philatelic Exhibition. They were sold to help defray the cost and advertise of the show.

Thank you jlav for the info. Do you happen to know how much they would have charged for these back in 1936 and what these are worth today?

I checked my Cinderella stock books, Quilter, but I didn't find any of those. I know I had some, must have sold them ... sorry I couldn't be of help this time.

I see where the blue one is being offered for $12 buy-it-now on eBay.

thank you so much for the info

Looking on EBay I think you have the complete sets. As to the original cost I think it wouldn't be very much perhaps in the $1.00 range.
