Morse Code And Keypunch Tape On Stamps

Star shaped computer tapes, together with communication equipments. A kind of disturbing image to have - remembering what we had to witness since this February.

My above post counted the 100th item/image since this thread has started. So, I am sharing the list, in 5 images with page indication on top.

I hope these help you to find more stamps from your collection to share on this thread!!

That was a great idea you had and now at a glance one can see what
has been posted previously.
Great work. Thanks.

Austria issued this 1965 stamp for the centeneray of
the International Telecommunication Union.
The stamp shows a telegraph key.

Well done Tomoko

This Australia 2022 stamp shows map, telegraph key, and Morse code that reads Overland Telegraph.

Thank you for your comment, lithograving - but it is not my original idea, I am following what rod222 does on Telegraph Insulators on Stamps tread on this forum. And yes, it works, as two more stamps are shared since! Thank you for the beautiful Austrian intaglio and Australian commemorative by KuoLC5310, which we discussed earlier but didn't have the scan.

Here is one more Morse key;

Japan

By the way, this stamp is on my ebay shop. If you type "communication" at the search function on the link below, it will come up with other similar kind.

Nicaragua 1890
Locomotive and Telegraph Key

Hi Rod - beautiful stamp from Nicaragua! I think that is the oldest issue so far..?

Here is a Morse code reading task - but it says very short, GST: Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik!

DDR
8 August 1972 / Sports and Technical Sciences: Radio set and Morse key / design: M. Gottschall



Have a happy new year, everyone!

The first stamp in the world to show a morse key ?
It would have to be in the running.

Plenty of stamps with Iconography before that, but none with a key.
Surprised it took 50 years.
I particularly like the early Japanese Telegraph stamps showing the
Battery and wires.

Hughes Telegraph, Spanish Charity labels for orphans of Telegraph workers.
Exist : Overprinted CEUTA and MELILLA
Additional colours Brown and Purple and Green.
Faux postmarks.

Happy New Year to everyone, and all the best for 2023!



Oh, really? I haven't seen those. Could you share if you have?



This as well - do you have it in your collection? Looking forward to see them!

Here is a curious one - much modern tapes for recording, and side views and the layers of thin brown tapes look nothing else than Morse code..

Zaire
1982 / Telecommunication and Health

Hi Tomoko,
ideally, they both belong in the Telegraph thread.
But here it is
In the 1980's I was decorating my home in the Art Deco style,
and I had a polished wooden wall phone, with receiver on the side
(no dial)
Inside were two enormous porcelain batteries and wires just like this.

Thank you for sharing, Rod! - that wire expression is really cute/kawaii and I haven't seen the stamp before. The wire "kuru-kuru" coiled loop is making the serious chrysanthemum heraldry a bit funny.. and I never thought the object in the middle could be a buttery, unless you have described it so.

I enjoy those less serious attitude on communication issue, such as one below with punches tapes!

Czechoslovakia
2 April 1979 / 30th Anniversary of Telecommunications: Stylised Satellite / design: I. Strnad

Certainly Porcelain Batteries
My Aussie wall phone was similar to this but more modern
Had the two bells
One had to lift the receiver off the hook, madly wind / rotate the handle on the right hand side, this would send a pulse through to the lass on the switchboard,
to pas you through to the line you required
