Maybe a reprint, doubt a fake. shall we say a "variety" "CASACUDOR" Is not the same stamp !!! please see my stamp + the block shown in your fist link http://www.cinderellas.info/wittcoll/images/106530.jpg and compare with ebay pics.

I think that on ebay is a fake or a reprint? Both of you are correct. "The Hobby Club" was a club that existed to help collectors exchange items. It was a department of "The Hobbyist" a monthly magazine of 32 pages, that was published in Winnipeg, Canada in the early 1900s. It was affiliated with the Winnipeg Stamp Club of the Canadian Philatelic Society. Any references to The Hobbyist, that I have seen, date up to World War I (1914), but it may have continued later. C. A. Hives was in charge of the Hobby Club Department of the "Hobbyist" in Winnipeg back in 1909 and 1910 A copy of The Hobbyist from 1910 was recently offered on eBay at $8.95 US. http://i18.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/28/93/d634_1.JPG Some advertisers included Louis Bartel, H F Bowker, and A C Roessler. A $4 Columbian was offered at $3.60 A PDF file of the Hobbyist (27 MBytes) is online at: http://ia300119.us.archive.org/0/ite...02hobbuoft.pdf As for the "stamps" , these were advetising stamps (poster stamps) and undoubtedly there was more than one variety, as they would have been reprinted as supplies ran low. These did no postal service, so they are not in any catalogues. The $1 value was probably the later annual membership / subscription fee for The Hobbyist. It was originally 50c a year. As Rodney says, a variety this poster stamp was recently offered on eBay for $5 US. It went unsold. Since the seller was a dealer who sells pretty well all of his advertising stamps for $5, except for mass printed ones from the US, which he sells at $1 or $2, I would say that your variety of the "stamp" would also retail for $5 US.
