Item Description

1956 US Poster Stamp 5th International Philatelic Exhibition New York Printed By The American Bank Note Company Set/4 MNH.

These Triangular Poster Stamps Were Issued In 1956 To Promote The 5th International Philatelic Exhibition, Known As FIPEX, Held In New York City. The Event Took Place From April 28 To May 6, 1956, At The New York Coliseum, And Was One Of The Most Significant Post-War Philatelic Events In The United States, Drawing Exhibitors And Collectors From Around The World. Each Stamp Features A Consistent Design: A Stylized Statue Of Liberty At The Top, Representing The Host City Of New York And Its Symbol Of International Welcome. The Imprint At The Bottom: “American Bank Note Company”, The Renowned Security Printer Responsible For These Labels. The Four Color Variants — Red, Blue, Green, And Violet — Were Likely Produced Either As A Collector’s Set, For Promotional Distribution, Or To Designate Different functional uses (e.g., admission, promotional mailings, or souvenir sheets). These are not valid postage stamps but rather Cinderella Issues, highly collectible in their own right due to the prestige of FIPEX and the quality of the printing. These Labels Are Celebrated For Their Modern Triangular Format, Sharp Typography, And Symbolic Imagery Reflecting Mid-Century American Design. Chat GPT
