LUCHTVAART fotos gepubliceerd op postkaarten
CIBILS Bouillon Company , bought out by Liebig's and around 1910 disappearing, without law-fights, just brains and cheques ( and good policy )
The Liebig Company had a lot of compitors on their product ... many used false methods, conterfeiting the product, using the same name with a word more, some even identic (just in other country ) and they paid extra to the shop-owners to put their product next to Liebig pots and packages.
Liebig fought in the first years in the courts of many countries, but that costed a lot of money. After 30 years of experience they used a new system. They bougt all properties, ships, locations and even directors of those Companies. Good examples of these pratices were the factories of Cibils and KEMMERICH they even proposed to Profesor Kemmerich to be their head of the Liebig Company AND that was a succes ..
The firm Cibils had their headquarter also in Antwerp and that Company was bought in bits and pieces until they surendered. Cibils was very succesfull and their advertising cards had same dimensions and were VERY impressive. That is the reason that I expose here their publications to prove it :
Enjoy !!!

And now we are 79 and since my shop COLLECTOMANIA will close end 2024 ... we are open for bids. What is photograped can be viewed in this Virtual Museum. If not sold I will use it in lectures to show the real thing !!!

- most international London, Paris, USA "fairs" did disappear for months
- so we sold our Truck and also our Home-Shop-house

- AND once a collector = always a collector : swapping & trading & exchanging went on
- 2021 Ebay got hungry and could not be reached anymore by phone : so we left Ebay
evaluated sales on EBAY here is all my feedback from EBAY
Now all my Ebay sales have been cancelled, If you had interest, then email me ... they are stocked in my archive.

Preparing INVENTORY
Thanks for reading this blog. We have won 4 years ... now preparing our archive to give it free for consult by students and collectors, digital century :
Purpose is to find a way to bring structure and effectiveness for research ... and at same time have to run business as usual and do no work double.
So scanning and at same time make structure by titling and referring numbers : to be presented in THIS BLOG (300.000 pictures) AND all this in digital maps presenting all prints in my websites. Because I decided to use these websites further, because they were weaved in my brain 50 years ago, and still serve the purpose wherefore I designed them. Now they will serve the New Times Coming and my websites will be changing only slightly. Same subject related : only printed advertising Ephemera printed both sides of card with lithographic paints ( printing ink ). Those last 25 years of my life I intend to transform the archive to digital and so I can sell all my collections and don't need my archive anymore.
So we will NOT need 5 more years to finish all necessary changes and further improvements. All will be finished end next year 2021 to serve collectors better.
My goal is : to transform all my info gathered in collections, catalogues and research by introducing them in a virtual museum that will show all kind of tradecards on photo in right directories. Around 2022 catalogues will be enlarged and remain free to study.
VIRTUAL MUSEUM Collectomania, the website will be a digital archive platform. Just like www.Collectomania.be (since 45 years) for subject and themes on trade cards, as well as the various presentations of these on paper-cards, vignettes, in sets or odd cards, on stamps, on visit cards, on flyers, pamphlets, folders (double, triple, ect... ), booklets, postcards, posters, affiches, menucards, tickets, calendars, games, boxes, leaflets, scraps, die-cuts and all kind of material : thick hard paper, metal, hardboard to cigarette paper ... small items as stamps to meters wide Wall Affiches ... printed in one color to 24 colors ... printers and their hand-press lithos, as well as wood-block printing, gravures, etchings, chromo-litho's and all other printing techniques and material and forms to print on.
CATALOGUES online, free to use as always www.chromo.be . I used this website to host only the cards I collected myself, and NO other ... since 45 years for "Au Bon Marché", for Extract of Meat Companies like Liebig and Cibils, Chocolate Companies like Suchard, Guérin Boutron and many other. From now on All tradecard sets with their printers, with their illustrators, sets descriptions (all photographed), their variations and printing differences during 150 years ... catalogue numbers in all countries and languages, titles ... this project is a 10 year project. So not extended shortly.
THE SELLING PART
So we start now, begin october 2020 with the dividing our inventory-collections : 20 to 50 maps, to on map at a time : each map fully photograped and beeing one sale. Prices will go down 30% if aquiring more maps of a collection. And when buying all maps of a collection price will be 40% down.
As example you can follow a SCRAP-collection of more than 20 maps, 10 BIG albums and some boxes filled with scraps. This full collection is far too extended
