Hi Rodney,

Too bad I do not have a scanner. If I did I could display the entire
set. You show only 3 values. I'll dig out my set and list all the
values later.

Jerry B

Great Jerry,
I would like to see them.
Thanks.

Hi Rodney,

No way! You won't ever get me to start collecting cinderellas

I collect Ecuador and this set and two others came upon cheap on eBay
so I bought them. I also have a couple of sets of Colombia, collect
that also, that some people think are cinderellas.

Jerry B

Yes, I see, remaining in the closet Jerry,
wedged between the duffle coats, and last year's shoes.
The fact remains, you purchased some Cinderellas.
You are now one of us, there is no escape, resistance is futile.

Also looking for (images) of those Phantasy siblings to Ecuador.
They are Triangular, and probably feature an old Ford Tri Motor aircraft.
(just in case you have those as well)

Hi Rodney,

I like to think of the cinderellas as enhancing my specialized
collection of Ecuador. I know you will like this: I also bought the
Columbus set. Does this now make me an advanced cinderella
collector?

I have the complete set. The triangles are part of the same set. I
know some one who has a scanner so I'll see if he can scan them for
me.

Jerry B

Oh yes, you're gone Jerry.
please don't go out of your way,
there exists the full set including selvedge in the Richard C Witt
collection at Riga Stamps,
They are low resolution scans, and I would have liked to see them close up.

There are the FDR Ecuador cindies as well, if you havn't seen them.

Yes, just teasingly out of focus.
