EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards from Serbia, a unique and intriguing philatelic creation from the early 1900s. These innovative Stamp Cards, produced by Ottmar Zeihar in Serbia around 1904, offered collectors a chance to admire stamps they may have been unable to obtain or afford due to low printing runs or financial constraints. The set consisted of 180 cards, each featuring an embossed stamp design representing various countries and regions. The cards showcase an impressive montage of crests, coats of arms, and other national symbols, making for an unusual and visually striking collection. Some of the smaller countries and regions had very limited print runs, making used Zeiher cards a rare find today. Despite their allure, these cards faced challenges during their time. The embossed stamp design was not approved by postal authorities, as it created confusion with the function of proper stamps. Consequently, used Zeiher cards are exceptionally hard to find. These Stamp Cards serve as a testament to the rich history of philately and the passion for postal communication during the 1900s. The intricate designs and the stories behind each card continue to fascinate collectors and enthusiasts alike. Explore this fascinating era of philately and add these rare gems to your collection.
