Clasped hands, hammer and sickle, printed by photogravure, and issued by Yugoslavia (Trieste) in 1949 for Labor Day, Scott No. 4. Note: I believe that the goat's head in this stamp's design may represent the Istrian Goat from the regional coat of arms. - nethryk  |

Norway celebrated the 200th anniversary of its constitution "Grunnloven" this year. This stamp belongs to a set of 4; the hand on the left is that of a man, the one on the right that of a woman. I think it's a great way to symbolize equality.  Hi Nethryk, That one from Yugoslavia must be one of the first stamps with that gesture! |

25 years ago today the Berlin Wall, and with it the European Iron Curtain, began to come down. These two UN Peace Doves, drawn with only a few strokes of the pen, can instantly be recognized as two hands clasped in greeting. Let them be a symbol of the day.  |
