Gazza's Stamps: WEST END SCHOOL MODEL POST OFFICE: Items For Sale

Cinderella stamps are those that have been applied to official mail for advertising purposes or for some other unofficial reason.

Local post stamps have officially, or unofficially, prepaid a local postage rate.

These stamps are perhaps local post cinderellas.

West End State School is in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. These stamps were available for postage on one day only, 15 August 2000. A model post office was set up in the school library as part of the school's 125th anniversary. The theme for the celebrations was ‘Back to 1875’.

The cinderella stamp design was computer enhanced from an original 1860 Queensland mint stamp. All the processing of the stamps was carried out by a teacher and a Grade 6 class. Postage to the local WEST END post office was by donation. Some 100 FDC’s and a number of items of mail were posted on the day.

The postage was paid by a donation only.

The denominations being 5c, 10c, 20c, 25c, 50c, $1, $2
