Description: Berkshire Festival At Tanglewood, Ma 1936 Full Sheet of Stamps. Very Rare. This is a full sheet, 50 stamps, unperforated, in a nice wood frame and under glass. These were issued to commemorate the Berkshire Symphonic Festival with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1936. These are a great collection/presentation piece of 85 year old Stamps. These were issued in a very limited quantity and few remain in existence. They do not carry any postage denomination. However, many people used them as Postage Stamps. I have obtained additional information establishing the provenance of these and “Promotional” stamps. The Provenance of these “ Stamps” is as follows: A very prominent supporter of Tanglewood, who was employed by the BSO- Boston Symphony Orchestra, gave a set to each of the following: the Lenox Library-( see them on the 2nd floor), Peter Serkin, Emanuel Ax, Martin Bookspan and Judy Borger.
