Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Dahomey

Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Dahomey. 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
This Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar showcases a montage of stamps from the West African country of Dahomey (now Benin), published around 1904. The card is part of a complete set of 180 cards, making it an essential collectible for philatelists. With some smaller countries having very low printing runs, these cards are now considered very rare. The Stamp Card features an embossed stamp design, which was not approved by postal authorities due to its confusion with actual stamps. Consequently, used Zeihar cards are exceptionally hard to find. The card showcases an intriguing selection of stamps, each adorned with the crests and coats of arms of various regions and countries in Dahomey. The Stamp Card is a fascinating example of the unusual world of philately in the early 1900s. It offers collectors a glimpse into the regional diversity of Dahomey, a country rich in history and culture. The card's intricate design and rarity make it a valuable addition to any philatelic collection. The Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar from Dahomey is a testament to the enduring allure of stamps and the passion they inspire in collectors. Its unique features and historical significance continue to captivate and intrigue philatelists around the world.
