SAVE 'SAVE THE SEAL' SEALS

Many stamp collectors have an interest in the labels that

appear in the margins of sheets of stamps. These labels

are a form of 'cinderella,' which is a non-postal stamp.

However this sheet of stamps, being from the fantasy country

of Merreminde, is a cinderella stamp edition. Thus the labels

in these cinderella's margins are 'cinderella cinderellas.'
