First printed interleaving page. These pages were bound into the album between pages with stamps. They are partially intended to protect the stamps from catching on stamps on opposing pages.
They also afford an opportunity for advertising. This is the only interleaving page with printing on both sides. Subsequent interleaving pages are only printed on the front side. |

They acted as a clearinghouse for cinderella stamps, and they published albums for them as well. |
