250m Doar Ivri single with tab
Object Details
- Description
- When Israel issued its first stamps in 1948, the new nation had not yet decided on a name. The inscription at top read Doar Ivri, meaning Hebrew Post. These high value stamps have their tabs (printed pieces of sheet margin), which many collectors removed to fit the stamps in albums.
