Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Gibraltar
Stamp Card produced by Ottmar Zeihar - Gibraltar. 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 by Ottmar Zeihar showcases a unique and intriguing collection of stamps from the British territory of Gibraltar, published around 1904. Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards were a popular innovation in the world of philately, providing collectors with an opportunity to admire stamps that were either unobtainable or too expensive for their collections. The set comprises 180 cards, each featuring an embossed stamp design representing various countries and regions. Gibraltar, with its rich history and diverse cultural influences, is particularly well-represented in this selection. The smaller countries and regions, with limited printing runs, are especially rare and highly sought after by collectors today. Despite their allure, these Zeihar Stamp Cards were not officially approved by postal authorities due to the embossed stamp designs, which could potentially confuse the function of proper stamps during mail processing. As a result, used cards are exceptionally hard to find. Each card in this montage is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the stamps from the early 1900s. The crests, coats of arms, and other unique designs showcase the regional pride and heritage of the various countries and territories. This Stamp Card print is an unusual and fascinating addition to any philatelic collection or display, offering a glimpse into the world of stamp collecting during an era of exploration and discovery.
