We had seen lot of label in Gandhi stamp collection such as Boycott British Goods, Untouchability, Boycott Simon, Leprosy is curable and lot more. Following is the example of labels in stamp collection.
Some of this label are even mentioned in award winning Gandhi stamp exhibit and even you can see more detail in Online Gandhi stamp exhibit.
In short this label has no value but it is artifically created by stamp collectors to make money.
Even this label are mentioned in Gandhi Handbook (display of forgery and fake items) in order to make money.!!
Recently I saw India 1941 Rocket mail 1st Parachute unused Labels was sold for $1250 by eBay seller "asianstamp" from Singapore previously known as "sephilasia2014" and "sephil.asia.dubai" based in UAE.
Original account of Asianstamp was opened in Australia then moved to Dubai (UAE) and then Singapore.!!
Can you believe that a label sold for $1250.!!
It's just label (piece of paper). So anyone can print it any time.!!
For @1250 you can buy GOLD coin.!! Yes real gold coin with 28 oz of gold.!!
Not sure who are this idiot buyers who are wasting their money.!!
Easy way to make money on eBay.!!
Do you think this is genuine eBay transaction?
Genuine eBay transaction means buyer paid to seller and eBay got commission on this transaction as much as $125.
Reason for asking this is sometimes in order to glorify stamp collection someone will buy it but don't pay to seller but no one know whether this is actually sold.!!
If you see this on eBay then you will think that this is sold for $1250.!!
Following postcard was not included in $1250!!. It's just example how it was used.
Again it is not official which country it was origin. Also anyone can make rubber stamp and forged signature and create postcard with rocket mail.!! Even if it is original created by Stephen Smith it don't have any value as it no official stamp or rubber stamp from country of origin.
Don't you think you can make one or ten or hundred and start making money on eBay.
Stephen Smith, was a pioneering Indian aerospace engineer who developed techniques in delivering mail by rocket. In the ten-year span of his experiments (1934–1944), Smith made some 270 launches, including at least 80 rocket mail flights. (Not sure whether this is correct as Wikipedia can be edited with incorrect information.)
Do you think Stephen Smith was interested in making this kind of postcards and labels.!!
I don't think so as he will be busy in learning new things in Aerospace industry but someone is using his name to make aerophilately.
But some collectors after his dead decided to create this kind of lot of things and started making money on his name.!!
