A short set of advertising stamps for Kaiser Otto coffee, together with a real bank note. I do like these and will be keeping my eyes open for more. A nice source of inspiration for stamp design, and see if I can find the real bank notes of the other designs.

Coffee selling must have been very competitive in pre-WWII Germany judhing by the number of number of brands issuing collector's advertising stamps and the range of subjects. Grom Aecht Franck are these childrens' story series. Sleeping Beauty and Hanset and Gretel.   ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Very nice, and I agree, great inspiration for stamps too. ------------- My Etsy shop - FarFetchedPhilately - Check regularly for updates and special offers... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FarFetchedPhilately . |

These town crests feature on stamps advertising Kaffe Hag. There must have been a lot more, or there would have been much competition to have your town's crest used. Each one of these is full of symbolism and would have been painstakingly designed.  ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

I have finally found the 6th gnome stamp for Aecht Frank coffee. Originally posted in a separate thread, but these are best placed here. I should try to translate the little rhymes, but they may lose something in the process. Anybody want to give it a go?  ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Coffee substitutes are produced for dietary, religious or economic reasons. I would guess the latter applies for German products in the interwar years. Feigenkaffee is one made from figs. A set of stamps with Parisian scenes, which will be familiar to many. Could I be missing a stamp with the most famous landmark? Schmid von Kochel may refer to a restaurant in Kochel am See, Bavaria.  ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Roasted grain was also used for coffee substitutes. I am not too impressed by the themeless random mix of designs used for Seelih's Kornkkaffee, but nice to get an undivided strip of 5. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

I am a bit confused by these stamps. Clearly a series of 6 designs showing a boy and girl dancing, but for two different products. In fact two different brand names. Perhaps one company owned the other. Aechter Brandt Kaffee was a Kaffee Zuzatz - presweetend with sugar, sweetners or flavoured syrups. Schuerer's Double Knight is also 'zuzatz' and promoted as being healthy.  ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Not coffee this time, but Aecht Frank coffee mills - 'a fine addition to any coffee drink'. Set of twelve stamps nicely in a block, one for each month of the year, with anthropomorphised animals enjoying each month appropriately. All pre climate change of course. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

A set advertising Fengelmann's coffee. Despite some of the imagery, I will not be decolonising my stamp collection ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

A mixed bag of stamps for K. Tiktak of Amsterdam, est 1870. Well known and still in business selling tea nad their own mild blend of coffee. A quick net search shows they advertised, not only with stamps, but just about everything from wall clocks to tie pins. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

More of Scheur's zuzatz Double Knight and Horseshoe brand, including a 100th anniversary stamp. This has provided a year for these stamps - 1912. This could be a full set with mixed sheet stamps. More than one printing was done of these, with different shades apparent from single stamps in my collection (not shown). At one point the stamp size, but not the design, was increased to provide larger borders. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Fairy tales are popular subjects for advertising stamps from a century or more ago. This must be from the Brothers Grimm, but I don't recognise it. This part set is promoting Kathreiner's Malzkaffee, another grain based alternative to real coffee. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Unusually this set does not seem to be promoting any brand of coffee. The message seems to be that whatever your job or profession coffee is good for you. Perhaps it is just promoting coffee as a whole. Must be a part set as no-one produces sets of 11 stamps. Anybody up to translating the little rhymes?   ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |
