Cravat On Postal Stamps

Hi @KlausR
Very nice stamps on which people wearing ties. I've noticed something weird. Croatian state is the first in the world issued stamps on which the focus is exclusively on the tie (cravat) and not to the man or woman with a tie. Maybe I'm not right?
This is one of the reasons why I opened this topic. I searched on the net to tie (cravat) stamps. So this is the first stamp in the world that is dedicated to tie rather than a man with tie.
Thank you for your participation in the topic.
Best regards

The tie this man is wearing must have taken some time to position correctly. J.C. Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, physician, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Stamp from the French zone of occupied Germany, 1945, and a scan of the portrait by Ludovike Simanovitz.

It looks as if Goethe wrapped his scarf around his neck several times before tucking it in and adding a pin. Stamp part of the set to which the Schiller stamp above belongs.

@johnc

the cravat issue from Croatia is from 1995. The Michel finds only two other issues showing cravats only:

Slovakia 1994
Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatian Administration 2016





I'm afraid that all other cravats are coming along with the person wearing them.

Hi @Kris Rascher
Stamps Briefpost are beautiful. I love such classic postal stamps.
Fashion at that time was a "shawl around the neck". Thank you for the explanation. The more I participate in this forum, the more I learn.

Hi @KlausR
OK, Slovakia edition in 1994 but this postage stamp is created for football '94 (though showing a tie)
Postage stamps from 2016 Bosnia and Herzegovina thematic is related to the "International Day for men" (although showing a tie because it is such a symbol of a man)


It seems to me that's so. In my post above I was based on the stamp that thematic focused exclusively on the tie (cravat). But it does not matter and these are very pretty.
Best regards

More cravats.

Hi @KlausR
Very beautiful postal stamps. I like these Canadians.
I just photographed my collection of Canadian postal stamps. I'll post it to the forum.
Best regards

@johnc

there are more cravats to come, and I'll throw in some bow ties every now and then.

Here's the third stamp from the set from the French zone of occupied Germany, depicting Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), poet and satirist.

Hi @KlausR
Wow, excellent stamp.
Do I see this well, this postmark contains an error below the letter "C".
Is it a rare mark or not. Can you tell me, how much the price of this stamp can be achieved in today's market.
Best regards

Variations on a theme.

John,




No error, but the correct spelling of the "C". Française is written with "C cédille".

Wiki says this:
A cedilla, also known as cedilha (from Portuguese) or cédille (from French), is a hook or tail ( ¸ ) added under certain letters as a diacritical mark to modify their pronunciation. In Catalan, French, and Portuguese, it is used only under the c, and the entire letter is called respectively c trencada (i.e. "broken C"), c cédille, and c cedilhado (or c de cedilha, colloquially). This symbol is also called snaked c.

Catalogue value of that stamp is 5 EUR (MNH) and 90 EUR (cancelled). Market price would be about 10% of that.

"Before serving as America's 31st President from 1929 to 1933, Herbert Hoover (1974-1964) had achieved international success as a mining engineer and worldwide gratitude as "The Great Humanitarian" who fed war-torn Europe during and after World War I." (Wiki) I found an alamy scan of a photo taken when he was 87; it shows that he still enjoyed wearing decorative ties.
