Tanger a Arzila

tanger-1895-solomon-sealThese stamps were issued in 1895-8 in Tanger, Morocco. I heard a rumor that King of Morocco at that time wanted to marry the daughter of the head of the Jewish community and that’s why the Star of David appears on coins and stamps from that period on, but usually Moroccan six-pointed stars are Muslim Solomon Seals.

Independence Day Stamps Arrived

Stamp-sheet-star-david
Yesterday I got this stamps sheet from the Israeli Postal Authority. The stamps were designed, according to my idea, by my favorite graphic artist Jennie Gottschalk who lives in New Zealand. In each stamp you see Magen David and baloons made not from lines but from the letters of the Israeli national anthem. There are only 24 of these stamps in the world and if there will be a demand for them their price will go up and up :)
