Poster stamps of the PPIE
Panama Pacific International Exposition - San Francisco, 1915

INTRODUCTION

What was the PPIE?

What are poster stamps?

PPIE Poster stamps for:

 -  Official publicity
 -  General souvenirs
 -  Exhibitor promotion
 -  Local promotion
 -  Foreign
 -  Awards
 -  Railroads
 -  Events
 -  Other

OTHER

These are stamps that don't fit nicely into any other category.
As far as I can tell, none of these entities had PPIE exhibits.
They seem to be simply product ads exploiting the event.
