Germany Poster Stamps - 1914, Hamburg - Christmas Fair in Johanneum

Description: [zipedit] GermanyEvent Publicity Poster Stamps Publicity poster stamps for the Weihnachtsmesse im Johanneum (Christmas Festival in the Johanneum), held December 6, 1914 to January 3, 1915. The Johanneum refers to an old school that was founded in 1529.According to the Johanneum School of Scholars website at johanneum-hamburg.de: The Johanneum School of Scholars is the oldest and most traditional secondary school in Hamburg. It was founded in 1529 by Johannes Bugenhagen, the Hamburg reformer and friend of Martin Luther. It was initially housed in the former St. Johannis Monastery (today the Rathausmarkt), from which its name “Johanneum” comes. In the 19th century, the school was given a new home on the site where the nucleus of Hamburg once lay, the so-called Hammaburg, and where the cathedral was located until it was demolished (1804-1807) (today Speersort). The Johanneum building has stood on Maria-Louisen-Straße since 1914. Hamburg's senior construction director Fritz Schumacher created a self-contained structure that is an oasis of learning, shielded from the noise of the surrounding streets and the nearby elevated railway. The five arcades between the brick wings invite you to enter and linger.The design of these stamps features a stylized version of the facade of the Johanneum building. This set of die-cut stamps is listed in "A General Illustrated Catalogue of Exhibition and Event Poster Stamps to 1914" compiled by Stewart Gardiner and Steve Greiczek, on page 824 (Scarcity Rating = Uncommon). These stamps are F/VF, OG, H. Approximate Image Size: 48 x 62 mm. DUE TO RECENT NON-DELIVERY CLAIMS - EXTRA FEES FOR SHIPPING MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME ADDRESSES.

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.
