These stamps were printed in sheets of 50 (5 x 10) or in minisheets of 4 stamps (10,000 minisheets were issued).
Minisheet with inscription 'INTERNATIONALE POSTWERTZEICHEN -
AUSSTELLUNG WIEN 1933', reduced size
A reprint of the above minisheet was made in 1981, if my information is correct, the words 'FAKSMILE 1981' are written at the bottom of each stamp. I've also seen another 'reprint' in light green color with a black 'Faksimile' overprint at the bottom of the sheet.
Yet another reprint was made in red of a single 50 g (+50 g) in red on a minisheet. This reprint was made in 1965 and the imperforate stamp bears the overprint 'NEUDRUCK WIPA 1965'. Further the text 'WIENER INTERNATIONALE POSTWERTXEICHEN-AUSSTELLUNG' is printed at the lower part of this mini sheet.
A label for the WIPA exhibition, I have also seen this label in
the colour green.
Other labels exist with inscription 'INTERNATIONALE POSTWERTZEICHEN AUSSTELLUNG WIEN 1933': train, postman on horse, boat, rocket etc. (all in violet color).
