Almost looks like a salute to U.S. Scott Q5 - 5c Parcel Post Stamp.
Bored a work so I'll Googling around to see what I might find. Not having much luck.

WOW. given the history behind those, it would be really cool to get a set of all three colors and display them with that article. However, it seems that a complete set goes for around $100 to $125. Now I'm jealous.

There was a set on Ebay for the set of three as imperfs. As I write this, there was about 1 hour left. No bids with an asking price of $93.75. Buy It Now was set at $125.00.
Does make one pay more attention to the old movies when a letter is opened!
Awesome articles. I'm a film buff (from 1890s to 1945 in particular) so these articles really intrigued me. I'm quite into the cinematography of this era and catch little things like that. I'll be watching my films even more carefully to spot these "stamps".
Thanks for bringing this up.

I've been jonesing for a set of these since you showed them and I did all the looking around. I finally broke down and purchased a set of all three colors (perforated) for about $42 from a local dealer. Now i just need to cobble together the articles for a display page.

Came across these two stamps which are probably Cinderella's. Any comment on them would be truly appreciated.
