JUDAICA
PHILATELY: Austrian
Judaica Tabs
In
1980 the Austrian Jewish Community, wanting to honour Theodore
Herzl’s 120th Birthday, approached the Austrian Post Office
and requested them to issue a stamp for this occasion. Realizing
the international repercussions this would have in many Third World
as well as Arab countries not favourably disposed towards Israel,
the Post Office declined. Instead they suggested that a brief message
be printed commemorating the event on the bottom row of 10 tabs
adjoining most Austrian definitives. THE AUSTRIAN JUDAICA
TAB SETS WERE BORN!
The first set featuring the first JNF stamp on the tab
was immediately sold out. Subsequent sets were just as popular
and many sets or single stamps were sold out within weeks of the
day of issue. Distribution of the stamps was given exclusively
to the “Friends
of the Israel Philatelic Community” in Austria. Most issues were
produced in quantities ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 sets. Some were
produced in the low hundreds! From the onset, JUDAICA SALES has
been fortunate in being able to acquire sufficient sets for all its
customers. However, some sets and First Day Covers are now COMPLETELY
SOLD OUT, and others are available in very limited quantities. Prices
have remained reasonable for most issues. All sets issued to date are
listed, including those NOT AVAILABLE (N/A). Items noted (---)
in price column indicate item was never available.
A few sets
and First Day Covers as well as special covers are available in
some quantities.THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REDUCED A FULL 50% IN PRICE
FROM PREVIOUS LISTS AND ARE BOLDLY HI-LITED IN ITALICS!! There
is no better time than the present to complete your Austrian Judaica
tab collection, or start one now. Please understand, however, that
we cannot guarantee under any circumstances completion of your collection. |
