March 11 To 17 Mechanics Building, Boston Unused Hinge Marks 80% Original GumThis Poster Stamp Promotes The 1951 Mid-Century Spring Flower Show Held From March 11 To 17 At The Mechanics Building In Boston, Sponsored By The Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The Design Reflects The Clean, Bright Aesthetic Of Early 1950s American Commercial Art, With Bold Use Of Yellow And Blue Framing A Large Stylized Dogwood Blossom In White With A Yellow Center, A Flower Commonly Associated With Spring. The Text “Mid-Century” At The Top Emphasizes The Event’s Contemporary Relevance During A Period Of Cultural Transition In Postwar America. The Typography Mixes Playful And Strong Sans-Serif Lettering, With The Word “Spring” Rendered In A Light Script That Contrasts The Heavier “Flower Show” Below. The Mechanics Building, By This Time A Longstanding Venue For Boston’s Major Exhibitions, Was Still In Use Though Its Final Years Were Approaching Before Demolition In The 1950s. This Stamp Offers A Colorful Glimpse Into The Era’s Promotional Graphic Design And Urban Event Culture. There Are No Visible Flaws On The Stamp.

Most Of The Poster Stamps And Cinderellas I Offer Are Truly Old Historic Treasures? Many Are Close To 100 Years Old Or More. Because Of Their Age, You Might Notice A Few Minor Imperfections Here And There. They're Full Of History And Character, But They Most Definitely Aren't Post Office Fresh. That's Especially True For Cinderella And Poster Stamps, So Please Take A Good Look At The Scans Because They're An Important Part Of The Description. Also, Please Note That The Backs Of Poster Stamps Are Typically Considered Much Less Important Than The Fronts, And Descriptions Can Be A Bit Subjective. If The Condition Of The Back Is Important To You, Just Reach Out. I Am Happy To Provide More Details Or Additional Scans.I Do My Best To Describe Everything Honestly And Accurately, And To The Best Of My Ability, I Guarantee That All Items Are Genuine (Unless Otherwise Noted).
