Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Paris, France - Arc de Triomphe. 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 1908

EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards, a unique and intriguing philatelic creation from Paris, France, circa 1908. These exquisite cards, published by Ottmar Zeihar, offer collectors a chance to admire stamps that were otherwise unobtainable or too expensive for their collections. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, these collectibles are a treasure trove for philatelists. Some smaller countries had very limited print runs, making certain cards extremely rare. The allure of these Zeihar Stamp Cards lies not only in their rarity but also in their unusual design. Each card features a montage of various stamps from the featured country or region, accompanied by its crest or coat of arms. The embossed stamp design on the cards, however, was not approved by postal authorities due to its resemblance to actual postage stamps, leading to a scarcity of used examples. These stunning Stamp Cards not only serve as a visual representation of the diverse stamps from different countries and regions but also transport collectors back in time to the early 1900s, when communication through the postal service was an essential means of connection. The Zeihar Stamp Cards are a testament to the rich history of philately and the enduring fascination with stamps and their stories. Collecting these rare and beautiful cards is not just about owning a piece of history; it's about appreciating the artistry, the stories, and the passion that goes into the world of philately.
