Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Trinidad
Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Trinidad. 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

Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards from Trinidad, a unique and intriguing collectible from the early 1900s. These exquisite cards, published by Ottmar Zeihar, offer collectors a glimpse into the stamp collections of their dreams. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, these Stamp Cards served as a bridge for enthusiasts to acquire stamps from smaller countries or those that were financially out of reach. The rarity of some of these cards is a testament to their scarcity, as certain countries had very low printing runs. The embossed stamp design on these cards, which features an intricate montage of coats of arms and crests, was not approved by postal authorities due to its resemblance to actual postage stamps.

The intricate designs on each card serve as a visual representation of the unique history and culture of each country or region.
