graphis, that Croatia SS is a real masterpiece, congrats on your
acquisition.
Karl Seizinger has to be one of the most important stamp engravers
of all time and right up there with Slania.
I remember looking enviously at that SS in the catalogue when I was a kid but in those days I didn't have the funds.
The only Seizinger's I have are a few he engraved for pre-war Czechoslovakia.
Check out page 44 of this thread were I have posted some
of Seizinger's Czechoslovakian stamps which show his
hidden initial.

For the 1987 Christmas stamp Austria finally picked a more secular theme, the carol Silent Night, Holy Night first performed in a small village church in Salzburg on Christmas Eve 1918. It pictures the priest Father Joseph Mohr (1792 - 1848) who wrote the lyrics and Franz Gruber (1787 - 1863) schoolmaster and organist who composed the melody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_NightDesigner : Adalbert Pilch Engraver : Wolfgang Seidel

I found this imperforate stamp/label/Cinderella ? in my grandfather's old album.  It is very similar to 2 stamps issued in 1952, Michel 688, 690 engraved by B. Roule except this one has as you can see the inscription OSTRAVA 67 and other Czech writing. Florian, I could use your help on this one. |
