Always great to learn something new! When I saw your stamps I did some research and learned some geography I never knew before!! Included is the fact that there are cities in the US called Batavia as well. Great stuff!! I wonder if I'll ever run into a precancel from Batavia N.Y. or Batavia Ill. or Batavia Ohio!! If I ever see one I'll definitely try to pick it up! Did a search on E-Bay: https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40 ...

There were quite a few Cinderellas in the auction in which Phil scored his Rubber Congress labels. Most sold, and a few sawferocious bidding.
On the other hand, 100+ Europa lots were utterly shunned. Together, they would have created a nearly complete collection from 50s to 1980, and many with multiple examples w & w o selvage and with a variety of official and unofficialFD cxls.

Indeed a very nice find. Rubber was a big thing in the Netherlands Indies before synthetic rubber brought an end to the huge profits the Dutch made on their plantations.
I found a few references on Dutch sites and they all say that these cinderellas are very rare. I need not know what you paid, but over here they are offered for 18 euros a piece. The sites also mention that it is completely unclear how many varieties (colours, languages, perforations etc) exist.

I had seen 'sets' of 4 in the past hence my comment, but had not considered that there should be a blue type also. Blue is a standard colour for most Poster stamp sets of this type. Of course there could well be more colours.
If Phil shops around he can add to his lot cheaply. I found a couple of his colour types on ebay yesterday for 96c so I am sure the red or blue (or any other colour) are out there somewhere !!!
What a great hobby Cinderella collecting is.
