Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards from Turkey, a unique and intriguing philatelic treasure from the early 1900s. These exquisite cards, produced by the renowned publisher Ottmar Zeihar, offered collectors an opportunity to admire stamps that were either unobtainable or beyond their financial reach. The complete set comprises 180 cards, some of which represent smaller countries with minimal printing runs, making them extremely rare and valuable today. The Stamp Cards from Turkey, circa 1904, are a testament to the rich history of philately. Zeihar's innovative design featured an embossed stamp image on each card, creating a striking montage that showcased the crests, coats of arms, and regional symbols of various countries.

The cards provide a fascinating glimpse into the philatelic landscape of the 1900s, featuring designs that are both unusual and regional in nature.
