Mrs. Stewart's Bluing is a safer alternative to bleach, used for whitening fabrics.

According to the company's website:
    "In the late 1870s, Al Stewart, a traveling salesman for a Chicago wholesale grocer, was a familiar figure in Iowa and southern Minnesota. In his market basket full of samples, he always carried a bottle of Mrs. Stewart’s® Bluing, which he made in his home with his family assisting him according to a formula he had acquired.

    Al Stewart sold Luther Ford the rights to Mrs. Stewart’s® Bluing, and the first documented sale of Mrs. Stewart’s® Bluing was logged on July 30, 1883. Mr. Ford quickly made plans to extend distribution across the region."
Luther Ford's son, Allyn, happened to be a stamp collector and member of the American Philatelic Society. He decided to use his knowledge of philately to help his business, and, in 1939, he began issuing a series of parody souvenir sheets that continued for several years.

This is the third sheet in the series, issued in 1940 commemorating the firm's 57th anniversary. This sheet portrays other famous "blues" - the Blue Eagle of the wartime NRA (National Recovery Act); a parody of Connecticut's "Blue Laws"; an homage to George Gershwin - composer of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Blue Monday"; and to honor the woman who "drives away other blues" - Mrs. Stewart.

The sheet is listed in James Drummond's "Catalog of Philatelic Miscellany" as #MSB5, and is F/VF, OG, NH.

Approximate Sheet Size: 140 x 86 mm.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such).



Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs.

A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described.

* A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
