A card from what is referred to as Persia in the message is my latest of my flea market finds. It shows the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque, part of the Naghsh-i Jahan Square in Isfahan, a World Heritage Site. The postmark is illegible but the stamps were both issued in 1963.
Industrial Development |
Mothers' Day |
During 1963 there were stamps issued to commemorate state visits from several world leaders. How things have changed.
This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

ReplyDeleteThe industrial design stamp looks 'industrial', even if I can't identify the different parts shown!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in today.
What a lovely postcard. I imagine it looks pretty similar today. My dad worked in both Iran and Iraq. And Libya, now that I think of it.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mother's Day stamp.
