Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Iran (Persia)
Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Iran (Persia). These cards enabled collectors to see stamps which they were unable to obtain, or afford. There is a complete set of 180 cards, some of the smaller countries had a very low printing run and are hence very rare. Used Zeiher cards are very hard to find as the embossed stamp design was not approved by postal authorities as it confused the function of the proper stamps! Date: circa 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards from Iran (Persia) circa 1904. These unique collectibles, published by Zeihar, allowed philatelists to admire stamps that were either unobtainable or too expensive for their collections. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, these Stamp Cards offer a glimpse into the diverse stamp issues of various countries and regions, even those with low printing runs, making them highly sought-after rarities among collectors. The Stamp Cards by Ottmar Zeihar feature intricate montages of stamps, often including the crests, coats of arms, or other distinctive elements of the countries and regions represented. The embossed stamp designs on these cards, however, were not approved by postal authorities due to their confusion with actual postage stamps. This lack of approval led to the scarcity of used Stamp Cards, making them a fascinating addition to any philatelic collection. The Stamp Cards from Iran (Persia) showcase a selection of stunning designs from the early 1900s. These unusual collectibles not only serve as a testament to the artistry of the period but also offer a glimpse into the history of communication and postal services during this time. Collecting these Stamp Cards is not only an engaging hobby but also a journey through the rich history of philately and the world's diverse cultural heritage.
