Cinderellas & Labels

Cinderellas are also called "Poster Stamps". They are small perforated posters not valid for postage and serve advertising purposes on letters and cards.

Labels are imperforated poster stamps, i.e. without perforated margins. Matchbox labels are a special kind, often printed between 1960 and 1975.
