jorgesurcl, Thanks for posting the souvenir card with the Liberia monkey image. Now I know for sure the origin of my "rare"  item! Jorg, I have three sets engraved and printed by the ABNC: the 1943 overrun countries flag set of USA, the 1942 animals set of Liberia and the 1956 UPU stamps of Vietnam. Problem is that I can't find the engraver names. Do you know good source online where I can find the engraver's names? |

Many thanks, jorgesurcl, for your kind reply and the information provided . Since you provided me the engraver's name and the printing methods of the overrun countries series, I will post them first. The Overrun Countries series was a fifteen-month series of thirteen commemorative postage stamps issued by the USA in 1943 and 1944 as a tribute to thirteen nations overrun, occupied, and/or annexed by the Axis Powers during or shortly before World War II. The stamps have same frame engraved by Arthur C. Vogel (1896-1959) and each stamp has a different flag printed by Offset/Litho. The American Banknote Company printed all. Here is one stamp in high resolution for example and the complete set:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overr...tries_seriesThanks again, jorgesurcl |
