Cinderella Stamp Club
The Cinderella Stamp Club was founded on 5 June 1959 in London, England, and is an association of philatelists, amateur and professional, whose interests lie in local stamps, telegraph stamps, railway stamps, revenue stamps, fiscals, forgeries, bogus and phantom issues, Christmas, Red Cross, TB and other charity seals, registration labels, advertisement and poster stamps and many other items - all of which are the so-called "Cinderellas of Philately". Activities. The club publishes a quarterly journal, "The Cinderella Philatelist" and at the end of 2008 had a membership of nearly 500, of which over 150 were outside the  UK. The major stamp catalogues do not usually list cinderella stamps, except in the "back of the book" and the club has published many works of reference, often written by members, on areas where little else has been written. The diverse subjects have included the philately of the British Empire Exhibition and the Red Cross Vignettes of Gaston Fontanille, or Delandre as he preferred to be called. The Club operates four study groups: "British Private Posts", "World War 1", "World War 2" and "Telegraph & Telephone". Each group publishes a quarterly newsletter which is incorporated into "The Cinderella Philatelist". Notable members  include the brothers Charles and Francis Kiddle. Affiliations. The Club is a member of the Association of British Philatelic Societies and is affiliate number 91 of the American Philatelic Society.
