Hello I got this stamp in a recent purchase. It is CTO, yet I didn't see any un-valued stamp in USSR or Russia stamps catalog. The inscription reads "philately world of knowledge". Can it be a tab? Thanks for sharing any idea. Rob
The "OCKBA" on the postmark is for Moscow (MOCKBA). The inscription reads (in my poor, literal translation) "Filateliya - Mir Poznaniya" (I think). I believe the symbol next to the globe stamp is for the All-Russian Society of Philatelists aka All-Union Society of Philatelists aka All-Union Society of Collectors. The name in Russian is Всероссийское общество филателистов, or В O ф. Hope this helps.
