A set of eleven Charity Label stamps, produced in 1909 to raise funds for the aftermath of the catastophic earthquake which struck Sicily and the Calabria region of Southern Italy on the 28th December 1908. Triangular labels with common designs were produced to be sold in ten different countries, each in the relevant currency. They were Austria (heller), Denmark (ore), France (centimes), Germany (pfennigs), Great Britain (pence), Hungary (filler), Italy (centesimos), Netherlands (cents), Russia (kopecks) and USA (cents). This is the set produced for America in cents, and they are stuck to a single folded card and cancelled to order with the date of the disaster.
