Stamp Card pack for card sets produced by Ottmar Zeihar
Stamp Card pack for card sets produced by Ottmar Zeihar, Munich, Germany, which 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 enchanting world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Card packs, a unique and intriguing collectible from Munich, Germany, circa 1906. These exquisite card sets allowed philatelists, or stamp collectors, to admire and expand their collections with rare and hard-to-obtain stamps from smaller countries. With a complete set of 180 cards, each one showcased an embossed stamp design, providing a tactile and visual representation of the actual stamp. Many of these cards feature stamps from countries with very low printing runs, making them highly sought-after and rare collectibles today. The intricate embossed designs were not approved by postal authorities due to their resemblance to actual stamps, which could potentially confuse their function. As a result, used Zeihar cards are exceptionally hard to find. These Stamp Cards offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of postal communications and the world of philately. They showcase a wide range of examples from various countries, providing collectors with unusual and often unobtainable additions to their collections. The cards serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of stamps and the passion they inspire in collectors.
