Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - China
Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - China. 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 print, published by Ottmar Zeihar in China around 1904, showcases a montage of various stamps from different countries and regions. At the time, stamp collecting was a popular hobby, and these cards enabled collectors to expand their collections by featuring stamps they were unable to obtain or afford due to low printing runs or high costs. The Stamp Cards were part of a complete set of 180 cards, each one embossed with an intricate stamp design. However, these cards were not approved by postal authorities due to the embossed stamp design, which confused the function of proper stamps and could potentially disrupt postal communication. The cards feature a diverse selection of crests, coats of arms, and other unique designs from various countries and regions. Some of the smaller countries had very low printing runs, making used Zeiher cards extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors today. The Stamp Cards offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of philately during the early 1900s, showcasing the unusual and unusual aspects of postal communication. These cards are not only valuable as collectibles but also as historical artifacts, providing insight into the rich history of stamp design and philately.
