Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Japan

Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Japan. 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 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards produced in Japan around 1906. These intriguing collectibles offer a unique perspective into the philatelic hobby of the early 1900s. Unlike traditional stamps, Zeihar's Stamp Cards were not intended for postal use but rather for collectors to admire and expand their stamp collections. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, these collectibles showcase a diverse range of stamps from various countries, some of which had extremely low printing runs, making them highly sought-after and rare. The design of these cards features an embossed stamp image, which unfortunately was not approved by postal authorities due to the potential confusion with actual postage stamps. As a result, used Zeihar Stamp Cards are exceptionally hard to find. Each card is a montage of a country or region's coat of arms or crest, providing a visual representation of the unique identity of each place. The Zeihar Stamp Cards offer an unusual and fascinating glimpse into the philatelic world of the early 1900s. Their intricate designs and historical significance make them valuable additions to any stamp collection or philatelic library. Explore the regional diversity and rich history encapsulated within these collectible cards and expand your knowledge of the stamp-collecting world.
