Description

Genuine original vintage US A.P.S. 1933 #730 used full Souvenir Sheet Chicago IL Worlds Fair Exposition Century of Progress Exposition Station with duplex Handstamp Cancel with the 2nd day opening of fair August 28th, 1933. Has anyone seen one with the Expo opening day, August 27th, expo duplex full sheet cancel? Would have loved to have seen what the cover looked like. Assuming it was on cover as the partial cancel at left would have it tied to one. But this is how I got it. Unlisted as a USED expo cancel full sheet in my 2016 Scott Specialized. However these special cancel singles are priced at $5 each in my 2016 US Scott Specialized catalog. Full sheet stamp with issued First Day Cancel August 25th are expensive (2016 cat $100) but with the expo cancel these are even RARER as full sheet! Excerpt from Wikipedia en*wikipedia*org/wiki/Century_of_Progress: The fair buildings were multi-colored, to create a "Rainbow City" as compared to the "White City" of Chicago's earlier World's Columbian Exposition. The buildings generally followed Moderne architecture in contrast to the neoclassical themes used at the 1893 fair. One famous feature of the fair were the performances of fan dancer Sally Rand. Other popular exhibits were the various auto manufacturers, the Midway (filled with nightclubs such as the Old Morocco, where future stars Judy Garland, The Cook Family Singers, and The Andrews Sisters performed), and a recreation of important scenes from Chicago's history. The fair also contained exhibits that would seem shocking to modern audiences, including offensive portrayals of African-Americans, a "Midget City" complete with "sixty Lilliputians", and an exhibition of incubators containing real babies. Tiny back side thin at top right corner margin. Some stamp hinge marks on back as well. Please INSPECT ALL images for FULL details. Satisfaction guaranteed!
